What We Do

Our Mission

To empower all those touched by MS and disability through sailing, adventure, and resilience

Our Vision

A world where disability doesn’t limit adventure.

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 3 core areas:

  • We're creating comprehensive sailing experiences—from weekend adventures to global circumnavigation—that prove adventure has no limits. Regional programs build skills and community while feeding into our ultimate journey around the world

  • We're documenting every journey with award-winning filmmakers and creators (shout out to Echo Bay Media!) to share powerful stories that change perceptions and inspire action across the global MS community.

  • 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.
