Our Mission
Project SHIFT is committed to transforming the lived experience of Multiple Sclerosis in Delaware communities by challenging disparities, amplifying underrepresented voices, and advancing equitable access to care, education, and support. We aim to create a future where every individual impacted by MS — regardless of race, gender, income, or zip code — receives the dignity, understanding, and resources they deserve.
Meet Our Founder
AJé English
Meet AJé English, the inspiring founder of Project SHIFT—a movement on a mission to change lives and ignite hope for those affected by Multiple Sclerosis (MS) in Delaware. When AJé was diagnosed with MS at just 32, shortly after celebrating her son’s 4th birthday, she turned her personal challenge into a powerful call to action. Her journey fuels Project SHIFT’s commitment to deliver vital resources, drive education, and spark bold awareness that empowers Delaware’s MS community like never before.
Project SHIFT isn’t just an organization—it’s a rallying point for hope, action, and real change. AJé invites you to join a vibrant community united to uplift, inform, and support everyone touched by MS. Together, we can rewrite the story of MS in Delaware—one of strength, solidarity, and progress. Your involvement directly fuels programs that make a lasting difference. Be part of the SHIFT!

It's about ensuring that the voices of those affected by this debilitating disease are not only heard in the MS space but centered. Project SHIFT will serve as a constant reminder to be encouraged and continue to lead a vibrant life that exists within MS, without limitation.
