Every year, over 500,000 runners compete in a marathon in the United States, and that number continues to climb. However, for those who do not, or cannot, run and would rather walk, there are several events to compete in. One of them is the Walk MS: Spokane Fundraising Event.

Join thousands of participants on Sunday, April 12th from 9 A.M. to 1 P.M. in the fight for a cure for multiple sclerosis. Located at Spokane Falls Community College, the event is one of hundreds of fundraising walks around the country dedicated to putting an end to the debilitating disease. Proceeds from Walk MS will go towards medical research as well as local organizations and programs that help those afflicted with the disease. Registration is free of charge. However, voluntary donations are highly appreciated.

For more information and to participate, volunteer or donate, call the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, Greater Northwest Chapter at 800-344-4867 and press 2, or visit www.walkMS.org. Visit here for more. Great references here.
