We’re incredibly grateful and so impressed by the scope of achievements for which our chapter volunteers are responsible. In honor of the many ways volunteers contribute to the MS movement, we'll feature a different volunteer during National Volunteer Week. Today's Everyday Hero is Lorisa Newman from Bismarck, ND.

Lorisa Newman has been walking for MS for eight years, leading a team and becoming the Upper Midwest Chapter Walk MS top fundraiser! She's also served as a Walk MS Ambassador in Bismarck, participating in interviews and community outreach, attending the MS Day at the Captiol, sharing her story with legislators and coordinating events in the Bismarck area. Lorisa's enthusiastic, and she's committed to raising MS awareness far and wide.
