Every year, the MS Walk takes place, providing much-needed funding for research and local support for those living with multiple sclerosis. In fact, since 1948, the event has contributed more than $175 million towards MS research. Last year, as the pandemic hit, the Walk was moved to a virtual platform for the very first time, and this year on May 30, they will host a second virtual walk day. â¦Or run. Or bike. Or swim. Going virtual has actually made the event more flexible. This year, families are invited to choose their challenge and invite friends and family to join them while raising funds and awareness about MS in the process. They can record themselves taking part in âthe walkâ, even if they run, skate, or ride, and upload their videos to the MS Canada website.
