Organiser's Description
Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Week is March 9-15, 2025 and dedicated to raising awareness and inspiring motivation to make change for people living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS), while drawing attention to this disease of the central nervous system. The cause is unknown, and there is no definitive cure however, there are many effective treatments, so those afflicted with MS should not lose hope. This race is all about raising awareness by fundraising, and getting behind those scientists that seek to advance our understanding of MS. So help spread awareness and contribute to research that will someday provide a cure by doing what you love....running or walking!
