Testimonials

Our executive director, Nikki Pfeiffer, is living with MS. She was recently interviewed by PBS, where she spoke about her experiences. Her story has also been archived at "PBS's Story Corp".

Ms. Pfeiffer says, "I started my MS journey with fear. Fear for myself, my family, my vision, my mobility, and my independence. But I was determined to live well with MS, and not be paralyzed by fear. Now I want to help others navigate the choppy waters that come with a diagnosis.

I am passionate about finding resources and new ways to respond to the needs of the local MS community. Our program is client-centric, and we continue to grow as we expand services based on evolving client needs. The biggest challenge facing the board is continuing to leverage resources to provide meaningful programs on a limited budget. The generosity of donors such as yourselves makes it possible to continue reaching out the Colorado MS community.

She adapts the exercises to a variety of individual needs so that everyone gathers benefit. The class is fun as well as beneficial. This class has a positive impact on my quality of life both mentally and physically. Thank you for sponsoring this wonderful program to the MS community.
