Walk MS is a simple, but incredibly powerful way for you to share in the hope for the future.

You can bring us closer to a world free of MS! Walk MS is fun with an important purpose. Joining the movement with hundreds of thousands of people across the country is an experience like no other. We unite as a community during Walk MS to make a powerful statement —to keep us moving toward a cure.

Registration for 2010 Walk MS is open. Take a look at the details.

Bike MS Ride

In 2010 the Michigan Chapter looks forward to hosting more than 1,500 cyclists who want to do something about MS NOW! Our goal is to offer a series of four remarkable Bike MS Rides to raise $1 Million in support of the more than 18,000 people living in Michigan with MS.

We invite you to pedal along some of the most beautiful scenery in all of Michigan, while you enjoy a fully supported, fund and truly inspirational experience. Choose from one or two day ride options with a variety of route distances. Bike MS offers something for everyone from the novice to the most experienced rider.

Run to help create a world free of MS

MSAMS is a group of dedicated runners whose single cause is to free the world of MS forever through awareness and fundraising. Every dollar that MSAMS members raise goes directly to the mission and helps support the more than 18,000 people in Michigan affected by MS.

Make ONE day of golf a BIG day for people with MS.

The MS Longest Day of Golf is not a typical golf tournament. This unique event allows you to golf for FREE at some of Michigan’s best golf courses while raising money to support multiple sclerosis (MS) research, programs and services. Host courses donate greens fees on select dates in the months of May and September. Play just one round, or spend the day and play as many holes of golf as you can with your foursome. There is a minimum fundraising requirement of $125 per golfer for each day of golf. One day of golf will make a big difference in the lives of people living with MS.

The annual da Vinci Awards® recognize the most innovative adaptive and assistive technologies that enable equal access and opportunity for all people, regardless of ability. These innovations play an important role in helping people overcome physical limitations.

The 2009 daVinci Awards has been postponed, and more details will be featured on our website as they are determined. Nominations are still being accepted for the next daVinci Awards. Submit a nomination and to learn more about the awards.

MS Society mourns the passing of former Michigan Chapter President, Patricia McDonald

With great sadness I share the news that our former Chapter President, Pat McDonald, lost her battle with lung cancer and passed away in January.

Pat served people with MS for more than 25 years in our Chapter initially as Programs and Services Director and then for more than 20 years as Chapter President. A strong advocate for services for people with MS, Pat was a devoted friend and mentor to many of us.

The Chapter will be happy to forward condolence cards and emails to Pat's family. Please send them to my attention at the Chapter offices: 21311 Civic Center Drive, Southfield MI 48076 or via email: info@mig.nmss.org .

Make a Memorial Gift in Honor of Pat McDonald.
