Who We Are
Our Mission
We believe in the power of community, learning, and personal growth. By sharing our time, insights, and unique talents, we have built a fun-loving, supportive community of folks with MS. We choose to live our most fulfilling lives while embracing this ever-changing condition with resilience and hope.
Our Story
The 208 Local MSers is a group that began in 2017. We started as a group of four ladies who lived in the Treasure Valley and shared one commonality: we were all battling the disease Multiple Sclerosis. We soon discovered that we shared another commonality: each of us desired a positive, forward-thinking community, focused on how to live our best lives while working through the challenges of a debilitating, chronic neurological disease. Soon we decided that we would meet to brainstorm, share ideas, and enjoy some much needed camaraderie, and we came to develop a community that supports and understands one another.
One of our founding members Rebecca, owned a restaurant called the Local; thus we determined we would meet monthly at the Local, and the name was born:
208 Local MSers.
We also decided that we would launch a Facebook group, but we could tell right away that only having a Facebook group misses many potential members who do not use social media; that brings us to the creation of our website. Voila!
Since 2017 we have grown and learned. We have laughed, we have cried, we have spent many hours together, and we have grown stronger.
