Community. Laughter. Wellness. Empowerment.
MS-ing Around is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to building an intentional community for individuals living with autoimmune diseases. Founded by comedian and wellness advocate Kellye Howard, MS-ing Around combines laughter, learning, and holistic wellness to support healing from the inside out.
Diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2013, Kellye turned her journey into a mission—one rooted in the belief that managing an autoimmune diagnosis isn’t just about doctors and medications, but about community, movement, mindset, and joy.
Mission
To create empowering, inclusive spaces for people living with autoimmune diseases through connection, education, and laughter.
