Cathy Chester MS Advocate
“Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass. It’s about learning to dance in the rain.”

Cathy’s mission is to help others on their own MS journey to lead a healthy, hopeful and enriching life – the best life possible within each person’s abilities.

“No matter what adversity you face, life is still delicious.” ~ Cathy Chester
