About Walk MS:

In less than two decades, multiple sclerosis has gone from an untreatable disease to one with 13 therapies for its most common forms; at least 15 more are in the pipeline. Thats in large part due to support of those who fundraise through events like Walk MS, a volunteer-driven event supported by the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. Walk MS is scheduled to take place in 20 communities throughout Wisconsin in 2014, with each location featuring accessible routes, rest stops, first aid and more. More than $1.3 million was raised through Walk MS events in Wisconsin last year.
