Your Impact

No one has to face MS alone

Funds raised through Walk MS support programs and services – like MS Navigator® – so everyone has what they need to take back control from MS.

No one has to face MS alone

Our compassionate, highly skilled MS Navigators help connect you to the information, resources and support needed to move your life with MS forward. These support partners help you navigate the challenges of MS that are unique to your situation.

Andrea, diagnosed in 2012

"I was diagnosed with MS on Friday the 13th in early 2012. I felt completely overwhelmed and terrified of an unknown future. My best girlfriends immediately googled the local Walk MS and created a team in my name. Since then, Walk MS has been a huge positive part of my MS journey! Year after year, my friends & family show their love and support of me and others like me. Since then, I haven’t missed a year! Now I’m a mom of two amazing kids, and I own my own successful small business!”

Andrea, diagnosed in 2012

Walk MS is there year after year to keep me positive; to remind me I’ve got a support network, and to be a support to others! I tell my kids that the money we raise is for the scientists to fight MS so we can beat it forever! I’m so grateful for the role the annual MS Walk plays in my life!

Rosa, diagnosed in 2021

My circle of support is important because it makes me feel safe. It makes me feel secure. It makes me feel like somebody has my back. My circle of support is actually my family, my very close friends and I rely on them a lot.

Rosa, diagnosed in 2021

Walk MS is like walking into a world that you belong to. I feel like I walk in a world where I don't belong because not everybody around me has MS. I feel like not everybody understands. So, walking into Walk MS, it's a whole different world, and you feel like you belong, you feel like you can connect with everybody else and it's a great feeling.

Pathways to Cures

Pathways to Cures is the biggest, most collaborative MS research effort of our time with MS organizations and scientific leaders from across the globe agreeing that this is the way forward to stop MS, restore lost function and end MS forever.

Pathways to Cures

Just as the experience of living with MS is different for every person, every person’s cure for MS may look different. The National MS Society is uniting the brightest minds – including MS organizations, scientists, donors and people living with MS across the world – to pursue the most promising research to reach these cures as fast as possible.

Kaitlyn, diagnosed in 2023

“Walk MS was 6 months after my diagnosis and the first day in that time that I saw signs of hope. I want to relive that hope every year.”

Kaitlyn, diagnosed in 2023

“[I walk for] myself and all the people I’ve met who also live with MS. The National MS Society provides important resources and services, and I walk for those who need them.”
