MS Run the US Inc.

MS Run the US was founded in 2009 by Ashley Schneider at her parents’ home in Wisconsin. She dreamed up a world where she could use her love of running to fight a disease that crippled her mother and pained her personally as a daughter watching her mother lose her independence and mobility, and the nonprofit was born.

MS Run the US launched the world’s longest annual relay run! Each year, they organise a 5,247.5 kilometre run across America from Santa Monica to New York, hand-selecting a team of runners to take on two enormous and awe-inspiring tasks: to each run six marathons in six days and fundraise at least $10,000.

Jill Kumlien, Ashley’s mother, was diagnosed with MS four years before Ashley was born. Inspired by Jill’s quiet strength through the diseases adversity, Ashley founded MS Run the US, a 501(c)3 charitable organization, to raise national disease awareness, funds to further multiple sclerosis (MS) research, and to help those living with disability due to their multiple sclerosis (MS) symptoms.

I had the privilege of working and supporting Ashley on her inaugural run from San Francisco to New York City. This event was life-changing and has profoundly shaped my life ever since.

Before the run, I assisted with organising charity events to raise essential funds and ensure the event could go ahead. During the journey, I drove the 30-foot motorhome and supported sponsorship efforts, marketing initiatives, and social media campaigns.
