“Empowering change, one gift at a time” isn’t just a theme—it’s a promise.
As Chair of the 2025 Annual Fund, I’ve seen firsthand how a single act of generosity can spark lasting impact. Every gift to the National MPS Society helps drive research, support families, and build a future filled with hope. Together, we are empowering change—one act of compassion, one donation, one life at a time.
— Wendy Spaudling, 2025 Annual Fund Chair
Meet our 2025 Annual Fund Chairperson, Wendy Spaulding
Wendy brings a deep passion for fundraising and advocacy, shaped by the challenges she faced as a child and young woman. These early experiences instilled in her a fierce determination to help others and a lifelong commitment to giving back. Now serving as the Society’s Director of Development, Wendy uses her professional expertise and personal drive to inspire support for the MPS and ML community.
With more than two decades of fundraising experience and a proven record of success, Wendy leads the Annual Fund with empathy, energy, and strategic vision. Her leadership helps ensure that critical programs—research, family support, and advocacy—remain strong and well-funded. For Wendy, each gift is personal: a step toward progress and a tribute to the resilient families at the heart of the MPS Society’s mission.
The Annual Fund is how the Society invites our family and friends to help support the core funding for our most important programs.
Your gift supports an array of programs that directly benefit members and their families, including conference & travel grants, educational scholarships, durable medical goods, educational resources, research funding, family support services, legislative advocacy, bereavement programs, and more!
