It may be June, and the sun is shining strong, but we have “snow” much inspiration coming your way. ❄️🏂

It’s not every day we get to spotlight an MS Focus client who snowboards down mountains while living with — but James Kovacevic, known as Mountain Surfers, is carving his own path. 🧡

James is an adaptive athlete showing that even with a life-changing diagnosis like , the things you love don’t have to disappear. 💪✨

Last year, MS Focus had the opportunity to support James with a pair of snowboarding boots, which he used at Move United Sport's Ski Spectacular adaptive camp. And James didn’t just show up, he hit the slopes and took first place in the individual division! 🥇🏔️

James says, “One of my main goals in life is to bring awareness to adaptive sports by giving hope, inspiration, and motivation to others.”

We’re so proud to be a small part of James’ journey. ❄️🧡

Drop a 🏂 in the comments to cheer James on!

Fundraisers have the word fun in them for a reason — and this Mah Jongg event was a perfect reminder of that.

We’re so grateful to Lindsey Reynolds and her daughters, Skylar and Paisley, for hosting a Mah Jongg lesson, open play, and tournament benefiting our organization in honor of Lindsey’s mother, Carlene Neugesser, who has been living with MS for 48 years.

Thank you to everyone who joined the fun at the Replay Club in Boynton Beach, and to Kari Long from Mahj on the Beach for donating lessons and prizes that made the day extra special.

Events like this show the power of community, creativity, and coming together for a cause. Interested in hosting your own fundraiser to support MS Focus? We’d love to help you turn your idea into impact.

Please contact Michele Austin at [email protected] if you have an idea worth sharing!
