An estimated 1,000 people are expected to raise more than $100,000 at Walk MS: Marietta on Saturday, April 14 at Glover Park. Walk MS is an opportunity for people to come together with friends, loved ones and co-workers to fundraise, connect and advocate for people affected by MS. Each dollar raised is one step closer to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society’s goal – a world free of MS. Since its inception in 1988, Walk MS has cumulatively raised more than $1 billion.
 
“Walk MS is all about community – people coming together to raise money and show support for loved ones, colleagues and friends,” said Cyndi Zagieboylo, President and CEO of the National MS Society. “Funds raised have a direct impact in this community, for example – our MS Navigator program. MS Navigators are highly-skilled, compassionate professionals available to connect each person affected by MS to the resources and information they need to live their best lives.”
 
WHEN: Saturday, April 14 at 7:00 a.m., walk begins at 9:00 a.m.

WHERE: Glover Park, 50 N. Park Square, Marietta 30060
