Why We Walk
Walk MS unites the MS community in the largest gathering of its kind to raise funds and make a difference for everyone living with MS. Our community has raised over $1 billion to fuel the National Multiple Sclerosis Society’s mission to cure MS while empowering people affected by MS to live their best lives.
While there are many ways to participate in Walk MS – from in-person events to designing your own event-day experience – all routes lead to a world free of MS. Join the movement to change the world for everybody affected by this disease.
Every Connection and Dollar Makes a Difference
No one has to face MS alone. The new Walk MS experience is an opportunity for people with MS to be surrounded by their friends, family, and loved ones – a meaningful expression of the support system that’s critical every day of their MS journey. Whether you walk, volunteer or donate, everyone has a place at Walk MS.
Join us and be a part of something powerful, a movement that’s going to change the world for people with MS because a cure is on the line.
