Champions Against MS
The Champions Against MS program strives to connect people living with MS and event participants. This connection fosters awareness, education, gratitude and most importantly, hope, through the symbol of an MS Champions bandana. During the Walk, event participants wear the bright green bandana signed by a person with multiple sclerosis. The paired Champions are encouraged to connect before, during or after the event.
Join the Champions Against MS program and become a critical part in the fight against MS!
