Snapshots of MS Photo Album: Share Your Story,
Your Strength,
Your Life
What is a Snapshots of MS Photo Album?
A Snapshots of MS photo album is exactly what it sounds like—an album full of real people, real lives, and real experiences. It’s a place where individuals living with MS can share who they are, beyond the diagnosis. Whether you’re with family, friends, or simply being yourself, we want to see you—at your best, at your worst, and everywhere in between.
MS is a journey, and no two paths are the same. Some days are filled with strength and resilience, while others bring challenges that only those living with MS truly understand. This album is a celebration of life in spite of MS, a way to connect, inspire, and remind each other that we are not alone.

Why Share Your Snapshot?
Many people with MS want to share a snapshot of who they are, but writing about their experience can feel overwhelming. If you’ve ever struggled to put your journey into words, this is your chance to let a picture speak for you.
A simple photo and a snippet of who you are—that’s all it takes. No long essays, no complicated forms. Just a moment captured in time, showing the world that MS doesn’t define you.
How It Works
We’ve made it easy for you to be part of the Snapshots of MS Album. All you need to do is:
Upload a photo—just one, or up to four if you want to share different sides of your life.
Answer a few simple questions—your name, type of MS, year of diagnosis, and a short comment if you’d like.
Submit your snapshot—and we’ll take care of the rest!
Once your photo is added, future visitors will be able to see what MS looks like—not just in medical textbooks, but in real life.
The Many Faces of MS
MS is incredibly diverse. It affects people of all ages, backgrounds, and walks of life. Some are newly diagnosed, while others have been living with MS for decades. Some experience mild symptoms, while others face more severe challenges.
But no matter where you are in your journey, you are not alone.
This album is a way to connect with others, to see the faces behind the diagnosis, and to recognize the strength that exists in every person living with MS.
We often hear about famous people with MS, but what about the everyday heroes? The ones who wake up each morning and keep going, despite the obstacles? That’s you. And your story matters.
Want to Add a Photo of a Loved One?
If you have a family member, friend, or loved one with MS, you can add their photo too. Whether they’re living with MS now or have passed on, this album is a way to honor their journey.
Simply fill out the short questionnaire and include their favorite quote or words they lived by. Their story deserves to be shared, just like yours.
Stay Connected
Want to be notified when the album is updated? Add your email and we’ll let you know when new snapshots are added.
After you submit your photo, share the album with your friends and family so they can see your snapshot and learn more about the incredible MS community. And if you know other MSers, send them here so they can add their photo and comments too!
