How do I sign up? Signing up is easy! The quickest way is to register online. However, there are several other ways to register:
You can fax a registration form to 480-966-4049
You can mail a registration form to 5025 E. Washington St., Suite 102, Phoenix, AZ 85034
You can register by phone by calling the Arizona Chapter office at 480-968-2488.
How much does it cost? There is no registration fee and there is also no minimum pledge, but the average walker raises $235. Pledges are strongly recommended to help support the mission of the National MS Society. Every dollar you raise will move us closer to a cure for MS!
Do you need volunteers? Yes! We need about 400 volunteers. Please see the Volunteer Page of this website for more details.
People have asked me for a receipt. What should I do? For donations of $75 or less we have a packet of receipts that we can send you to give to your donors. Call us at 480-968-2488 to request them. For donations over $75, as long as a name and address accompany the donation (such as on the donor's check), the donor will get a letter from the Arizona Chapter that will serve as a receipt. You can also download a receipt as part of the fundraising kit available on this website.
How do I go about forming a team? It's easy. All you need is one person and a team name. Whoever registers the team first will be the designated team captain and will be able to create a team web page. Visit our Team page to get started.
If I've already registered do I need to check-in the morning of the walk? Yes, all walkers must check-in on Saturday morning. At check-in, participants have the opportunity to turn in any additional funds, sign waivers, and register (if necessary). If you are already registered, you will need to pick up a wristband that designates you as an MS walker and allows your entry into the zoo after the walk.
What if it rains? The walk goes on rain or shine.
Are pets allowed to accompany walkers along the route? It depends on the specific walk location. Pets are encouraged to join the festivities at Walk MS in Tucson. Unfortunately, pets are not allowed on the Phoenix or Prescott route because these paths wind through the zoo.

ABOUT MY PARTICIPANT CENTER
What is a Personal Page? A personal page is an online promotional tool for your use when asking your friends and family to join your team or sponsor you by making a donation. Once you sign up for an event online, by default, you will have a personal page created for you. You have the option of personalizing this page by going to your Walk Center. You will be able to customize images, text and the style/color layout of the page.
By default I have a personal page, do I have to change it? Once you sign up for an event online, by default, you will have a personal page created for you. A compelling personal page attracts and engages supporters. While you can spread the word using customized e-mail solicitations, your personal campaign page can be your own creative expression of your commitment to the cause. Customize your page by selecting the layout and style that work best for you. Utilize the elements of text, photo and status indicators to their fullest advantage.
How do I change my personal fundraising goal? First, you will need to login to your Walk Center. On the bottom right side of the Walk Center home page is the location to modify your personal fundraising goal. Enter your new goal and submit the changes.
How do I change my team name, team division or team goal? Only the team captain has the ability to change the team name or team division.
