The annual Walk MS: Platteville will be held at UW–Platteville Ullsvik Hall Sunday morning.

Registration will be at 9 a.m., and the start will be at 10 a.m.

Since 1988, hundreds of thousands of people have taken part in Walk MS events across the country raising critical funds and awareness for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.

This year, the cumulative fundraising is expected to surpass $1 billion. 

“Walk MS is a joyous gathering with a wonderful ‘we’re in this together’ feeling,” said Cyndi Zagieboylo, p`resident and CEO of the National MS Society. “Every participant, volunteer, donor and sponsor is helping to drive us toward ths exciting $1 billion milestone. Together, we are accelerating progress in making life-changing breakthroughs so that each person with MS can live her or his best life.” 

More than 250 people are expected to raise more than $15,000 at Walk MS: Platteville on April 23. Walk MS is an opportunity for people living with MS and those who care about them to connect, join together, and be inspired. In 2016 alone, nearly 300,000 people at more than 550 locations across the country walked to create a world free of MS, raising nearly $50 million.
