Band Against MS Profile
Help our team in the fight against MS! Band Against MS is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit public charity, committed to providing educational information for those living with Multiple Sclerosis, and funding programs helping those living with the disease. Nationally acclaimed recording artist Clay Walker established BAMS in February 2003, because he wanted to help others living with the same disease he has battled since 1996. More information about BAMS is available at www.bandagainstms.org.
The five goals of the Foundation include:
- To help provide hope for those living with MS;
- To educate those living with MS about the importance
of working with a doctor to help manage MS; - To encourage individuals living with MS to seek appropriate treatment;
- To fund research seeking a cure for the disease; and
- To fund programs providing assistance to people living with MS.
Band Against MS plans to provide educational information and research grants to institutions searching for a cure or treatment for MS,
and fund programs that help those living with the disease. For more information about Band Against MS and to learn about BAMS Heroes (outstanding individuals living with or contributing to the cure for MS) please visit www.bandagainstms.org. The BAMS Bike Team is currently active in Tennessee and Texas.
