At twelve Illinois sites on Sunday, May 2, 2010, the Greater Illinois Chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society will hold Walk MS 2010.

Why We're Walking:

• Walk MS is an excellent way to raise the much needed dollars to help support our on-going programs and services.
• Founded in 1952, the Greater Illinois Chapter provides services and programs to 20,000 people with MS and their families within Illinois. The Chapter covers a 73-county territory, starting at the Illinois-Wisconsin border and continuing south through the northern and central areas of Illinois.
• Established in 1988 as the National Multiple Sclerosis Society�s only consistent national fundraising event, Walk MS attracts 200,000 participants and 45,000 volunteers at 600 sites across the nation.
• An estimated 1,500 volunteers will partner with Walk MS site committees on event planning, registration, food service, participant support, traffic control and local sponsorship opportunities throughout the year.
