MS Walk
Minnehaha Park

Sunday, May 6, 2012
8:00 am to 12:00 pm
Cost:  Free

The Christopher & Banks Walk MS presented by Walser will take place Sunday morning, May 6, at Minnehaha Park in Minneapolis. It’s free to walk, but fundraising is encouraged. Movement is something many of us take for granted, but for people living with MS, movement isn’t a guarantee. A special guest at the Ampyra booth at Walk MS will be Rick Sommers of New York City. Rick was one of the first people with MS to be treated with a therapy to improve his walking. He is available to talk about the impact of walking problems in MS and the options for treatment. Stop by the booth to learn more about how to talk to your doctor about walking.
