Living with MS
No one should face MS alone, and Hike MS is your opportunity to make sure you have the support you need to live your best life. On the day of the hike, you will have the chance to learn more about the services the National MS Society offers so you can be more than your MS.
You can also participate in the Living with MS program. This program honors those living with MS who are participating in Hike MS. Participants will receive a Living with MS Event Bib and can connect with others who understand what it is like to live with this unpredictable disease.
To join and participate in the Living with MS program, indicate that you have MS during registration. Remember, participants must reach the fundraising minimum before earning a Hike MS Event Bib.
