MS-ing Around

WHAT IS MS-ING AROUND:
MS-ing Around is a Hyde Park-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded by comedic actress and writer Kellye Howard-Jue, who was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2013. She and her team are committed to supporting individuals ages 16 and older whose lives have been impacted by an autoimmune diagnosis.

WHAT WE DO:
Through our three pillars—Education, Empowerment, and Community Engagement—MS-ing Around strives to redefine and reframe the hopeless narrative that often follows an autoimmune diagnosis. We provide accessible educational resources, creative events, and inclusive gatherings that foster humor, healing, and honest connection. Our work also includes raising awareness and advocating for equitable health policies that support marginalized communities living with a range of autoimmune conditions.

OUR COMMITMENT:
At MS-ing Around, we are guided by a commitment to authenticity, inclusion, and joy. We believe in using humor as healing, fostering spaces where every story is honored, and ensuring that wellness resources are accessible and culturally relevant. We meet people where they are—supporting the full, complex experience of living with a chronic illness.
