ABOUT ACTIVEMSERS
Founded in Albuquerque, NM, by Dave Bexfield (then 37) on March 2, 2006, ActiveMSers provides motivation and inspiration to those with multiple sclerosis to stay as active as possible—physically, intellectually, and socially—regardless of challenges. Today it is among the largest and longest-running personal MS websites on the internet (fully redesigned in 2020) and has aided hundreds of thousands affected by the disease and other chronic illnesses in more than 100 countries worldwide.
ActiveMSers is a not-for-profit website and does not actively fundraise from members. Instead, as an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.
