MS Walk back in Roxbury Township in April

ROXBURY TWP. Nearly 950 people are expected to raise more than $182,000 to support cutting-edge research and life-changing programs and services for people living with multiple sclerosis at Walk MS Roxbury taking place on Sunday, April 19.

Walk MS participants will kick off this event at Horseshoe Lake Park, 72 Eyland Ave., Succasunna.

The walk was brought to the scenic township locale by former Mayor- now Morris County Freeholder Director Kathy DeFillippo- who had two sisters who suffered from the debilitating disease.

Walk MS, presented by BAYADA Home Health Care, is an opportunity for people living with MS and those who care about them to connect and join together to be inspired and raise critical funds for the New Jersey Metro Chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. Walk MS Roxbury attracts friends and families of people affected by MS, people living with MS, corporate teams, and individuals who want to help end MS forever. Participants have the option of walking approximately 3.1 miles on our fully accessible route.

Each year, nearly 333,000 people walk to create a world free of MS across the country. Last year, more than 11,000 participants and volunteers came together for the 25th anniversary of Walk MS to raise more than $1.7 million for the New Jersey Metro Chapter.

It is truly inspirational to see thousands of people coming together to support our mission each year, says Walk MS Manager Julianne Falgiano. Walk MS gives us all an opportunity to connect with those who share the same fight each and every day. I am looking forward to the day we come together, to celebrate the cure for MS.

The site opens at 9 a.m. and the walk begins at 10 a.m.

Individuals and/or teams gain sponsorships to raise funds to fight for the cure for MS.

Proceeds raised will support national and local cutting-edge MS research and life-changing programs and services for people living with MS.
