Sailing the World to Support Everyone Affected by MS
A global voyage raising awareness, building community, and supporting everyone affected by MS through sailing, storytelling, and hands-on engagement at every port.
Our Mission
To inspire and empower those affected by MS and showcase the resilience of the human spirit.
Our Vision
Empowering and uniting the global MS community through sailing and storytelling to embrace adventure, overcome boundaries, and celebrate resilience.
How Our Global Voyage Drives Local Impact
We’re sailing the world to connect with MS communities, raise awareness, and share powerful stories because sailing mirrors the MS journey: it’s unpredictable, demands resilience, and is navigated best together.
At every stop, we build relationships, host events, and raise critical funds, carrying forward the legacy of Tim Archie, who lived with MS for 20 years with grace and resilience
Our work falls into four core areas:
-
We’re sailing globally with scheduled port stops to connect and collaborate with local MS communities
-
We’re creating and sharing powerful stories with award-winning filmmakers, creators, and storytellers. Shout out to Echo Bay Media!
-
We’re hosting inclusive events, community workshops, and accessible sailing experiences wherever we dock.
-
We’re raising funds for MS research, caregiver resources, and direct aid for individuals and families affected by MS.
Why We Sail. Why It Matters.
Multiple Sclerosis doesn’t just affect those diagnosed. It reshapes the lives of families, caregivers, and communities, quietly, constantly, and often invisibly.
Expedition MS began with our founder, Duff Archie’s father, Tim, who lived with Primary Progressive MS for 20 years. His humor, grit, and resilience shaped the spirit of this mission.
We’re now turning that personal legacy into shared action—city by city, port by port, story by story.
Our Goals:
Connect across borders and experiences, carrying forward Tim’s lesson that strength lives in presence.
Create joy and belonging, especially for those often left out of the MS story.
Raise critical funds for MS research, caregiver resources, and direct individual and familial support
Redefine disability through stories of resilience, adaptation, and navigating life on your own terms.
