The 4U Foundation is a nonprofit dedicated to raising funds and awareness for Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) through annual events like the Miles for MSA Run & Bike Challenge. Its mission focuses on three core areas: supporting families affected by MSA with direct financial assistance for care and equipment, investing in research to advance understanding and treatment of the disease, and funding initiatives that improve quality of life. The foundation also offers a scholarship program for undergraduate business students at Marist College who are Division I athletes, encouraging academic, athletic, and philanthropic excellence while building awareness and community impact.

Every contribution, big or small, made a real impact. Even just a few dollars helped move this mission forward and reach those who needed it most.

For those who were unable to donate, sharing the fundraiser was also incredibly helpful. Thank you to everyone for your kindness and generosity. It meant the world to us.
