FUNDRAISING
Walk MS is one of the New York City - Southern New York Chapter of the National MS Society’s premier fundraising events that brings change and hope to the 10,000 people living with MS in the five boroughs and Westchester, Putnam, Rockland, Sullivan, and Orange counties. Walk MS truly is a celebration of a hope as our community comes together to walk and to raise money toward a world free of multiple sclerosis. |
