The
MS Walk is a community-driven event for people living with or affected by MS as well as those who want to support our vision of creating a world free of MS.

Canadians come together in their communities every May to fundraise for and participate in MS Walk to help find the cause and cure for this disease.


As part of the
Sudbury MS Walk Committee you will plan and execute an inclusive, engaging event to connect and empower the MS community in your region.

MS impacts all Canadians, which is why we urge people to move forward together at MS Walk and help build awareness for the disease, raising much needed funds to allow us to continue to support people affected by MS.This is a great opportunity to make an impact in your community using your talent and time.
