Walk MS: Houston is expected to attract approximately 1,550 Houstonians to support the National Multiple Sclerosis Society and its efforts to raise funds for cutting-edge research, services and programs benefiting thousands of Texans impacted by multiple sclerosis. With the goal of raising an estimated $200,000, participants will gather at the University of Houston Recreation & Wellness Center to walk a one mile or 5K route, and enjoy refreshments and entertainment before and after the event.

There is no cost to register; however, the average walker raises $225 to support research initiatives, programs and services of the Society. Individuals interested in joining or creating a team can sign up online with co-workers, friends, family or neighbors.
