The event brings attention to the connections and support in the community for neighbors living with multiple sclerosis, a disease that ravages the central nervous system.

The funds raised at Walk MS will go toward supporting innovative research and to programs and services that assist the more than 1,200 families living with MS in Hawaii.

After the walk, participants will enjoy family-friendly games, live entertainment and a light dinner.

There is no registration fee or fundraising minimum, however, participants who raise $100 or more will receive a Walk MS T-shirt and be eligible for prizes.
