Run to help create a world free of MS
What is Making Strides Against Multiple Sclerosis (MSAMS)?
MSAMS is a group of dedicated runners whose single cause is to free the world of MS forever through awareness and fundraising. The funds you raise will be honoring research, treatments, education, supporting clients and family members throughout Michigan. Most of all you will be moving us closer to a world free of MS!
How Do I Get Started as a Runner?
First thing to do is to select a running event that is ideal and convenient for you. You can join the run of your choice to raise funds for MS and help create a world free of MS!
