There’s still time to join more than 5000 walkers at the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, Greater Northwest Chapter’s Walk MS, this Sunday, April 3.
The walk is a four-mile loop on the Burke-Gilman Trail from Husky Stadium to Gas Works Park and back. Participants help meet the Chapter’s goal of raising over $2 million to support programs and services that benefit more than 12,000 people with MS and 72,000 others including family, friends, caregivers and health care professionals throughout Alaska, Montana and in 23 counties in Western and Central Washington.
More information and how to participate:
Multiple sclerosis is more prominent in the Northwest than almost anywhere else on earth. At a time when public services are scarce, the programs, services, education and support the Society provides is more important than ever. Funds also support cutting-edge research to find a cure for this chronic disease of the central nervous system.
More than a fundraiser, Walk MS is a celebration of hope and moving forward. Participants will enjoy breakfast and lunch, live music, face painting, entertainment for kids, awards, and much more. Sign up individually, join a team, start a team or volunteer.
