Walk MS Salisbury: A Wild Success

Salisbury MD- Last Saturday, April 6th, over 150 walkers gathered in the Salisbury Zoo to make Walk MS Salisbury a success. The inaugural event raised nearly $18,000 for research, programs and services that help all those affected by multiple sclerosis (MS). After the walk, participants were treated to a celebration lunch provided by Famous Dave’s and Specific Gravity. Even the wildlife seemed to support the event by “wearing” orange—the color for MS awareness.

“It’s a lot of fun and a great venue. The zoo even has orange flamingos, which seemed to fit right in,” Mark Roeder, National MS Society, Maryland Chapter President said.

This year, the National MS Society, Maryland chapter has 11 Walk MS Sites throughout Maryland, with a goal of raising $1.2 million. Since 1988 Walk MS Maryland has raised more than $10 million to support people living with MS. For more information about Walk MS: www.walkmsmaryland.org, or 800-FIGHT-MS.
