Our Story

Welcome to Strikeout MS!

Thanks so much for stopping by our website. I’m excited to share a bit about Strikeout MS, the charity my family and I started.

In 2011, our family was introduced to multiple sclerosis in the most personal way possible. When someone in your family is diagnosed with a disease like MS, it doesn’t just affect that one person—it impacts all of us. That’s why my dad and I decided to create Strikeout MS, to support MS families right here in Cincinnati.

Cincinnati has always had our backs, and we wanted to find a way to give back to this amazing community. So, we sat down with Dr. Zabeti to discuss our vision and the launch of our charity. I know that when you donate, you want to be sure your contribution is making a real difference. With Strikeout MS, every single dollar you donate goes directly to helping MS patients in Cincinnati with integrated health and comprehensive MS care. 

We’ve partnered with the UC Waddell Center for MS to ensure your donation is used exactly as intended. The Waddell Center has been incredible to my family, and we’re committed to ensuring others get that same level of care. When we come together as a team, we can achieve so much.

Thank you for your support—every little bit helps. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to me or anyone on our team.

Let’s Strikeout MS together! 

Maggie Debelak, President of Strikeout MS
