In August, First Descents hosted 14 young adults living with multiple sclerosis (MS) for a week of whitewater kayaking, community, and epic adventures in Tarkio, Montana! This exciting milestone represents the first time that @first_descents has delivered our transformative programming to young adults impacted by other medical conditions beyond oncology! Thanks to our partners at @velocity_global, @mssociety and @candomultiplesclerosis for making this week possible. Want to learn more about this program?
