With the support of our partners and supporters, the story of 'Because I Can' is being brought to life for the inspiration and millions.

On May 26th, 2026, the world premiere of Because I Can at the Consortium of Multiple Sclerosis Centers was more than a screening. It was the beginning of a movement in the presence of the very community this film was created to serve. To share this story first with MS clinicians, researchers, advocates, industry partners, people living with MS, and those who dedicate their lives to advancing care was deeply meaningful. In a room filled with those who understand the complexity of this disease, the enormity of the moment was felt in every silence, every tear, every laugh, and every conversation that followed.

We are profoundly grateful to CMSC for giving Because I Can its first home and for allowing us to begin our film tour in a space rooted in education, connection, and progress. This film was made to be seen, but more than that, it was made to be felt. Kicking off the tour at CMSC reminded us why this story matters and who it belongs to. It belongs to everyone living with MS, everyone who loves someone with MS, and everyone who believes awareness can become action. We left the premiere with full hearts, a renewed sense of purpose, and deep gratitude for the opportunity to begin this journey here.

The risk of developing MS
is about 1 in 750.

Multiple sclerosis is an unpredictable disease of the central nervous system. The central nervous system includes the brain, spinal cord and optic nerves. This system controls everything we do and the way we do it.

While MS is a chronic condition that's incurable at this time, there is hope for finding a cure, one discovery and one stride at a time.
