Leading the Charge to Cure Multiple System Atrophy

About us

Mission MSA is a 501(c)3 organization with a 30-year history of devotion to improving the quality of life and building hope for people living with MSA. Mission MSA is devoted to a four-pillar mission as it fights a rare and terminal neurodegenerative disorder: - Supporting patients and caregivers affected by multiple system atrophy - Educating patients, caregivers and healthcare professionals - Financing and encouraging meaningful research toward identifying a cause and finding a cure for MSA - Advocating for issues important to the MSA community, including creating greater awareness Support, education, research and advocacy are important because multiple system atrophy is a rare disorder. It is estimated that fewer than 15,000 Americans are currently diagnosed with MSA; though perhaps as many as 35,000 more have MSA but are not diagnosed. Few physicians have any knowledge of MSA, leading to prolonged time for an accurate diagnosis. Currently the cause of MSA is unknown and a cure is desperately needed.
