Causes

At Walk MS, you are joining a group of passionate individuals dedicated to creating a world free of multiple sclerosis. Welcome!

As a first-time participant, we want you to know that we have a wealth of resources to help your Walk MS experience memorable.

This was my first walk and to have my family and friends surround me, support me, and encourage me to finish was absolutely amazing. To see the love that each person who was there had for whoever they were there with, oh it was just beautiful. And even more importantly, after the walk was over and all these people that I never met extended themselves to me and me to them, BEST EXPERIENCE EVER!– Karen Andrews
