Scott first met Jo when she was running the stadium steps as he was finishing up football practice at the university they both attended. She the school’s volleyball setter and he the school’s quarterback. You can say fitness brought them together. But what has kept them together is the encouragement they offer one another and how they build community. The Rampys have been free agent advocates, activists, and fundraisers working to end multiple sclerosis (MS) for almost two decades. In the early days, this included dog walks, galas and athletic events where the Rampys combined helped raise over half a million dollars in their crusade. Wanting to focus energies toward support *MS research* specifically, the Rampys made their work official in 2011 by forming the Rampy MS Research Foundation. Funds raised from the Foundation's inaugural TRIFEST for MS directly benefited the University of Arkansas Medical Sciences MS (UAMS) Research team - who we continue to support today. Today, the Foundation continues to support UAMS as well as the top scientists in the United States, focused on re-myelination in MS - the believed pathway to a cure, including researchers at Northwestern University and University of California-San Francisco.
