MS Challenge Walk

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a disease of the central nervous system that wears away the control a person has over his or her body. In honor of the 2.5 million people living with MS worldwide, FGS took the challenge to make a difference by participating in the MS Challenge Walk on September 29-October 1, 2006. During this three-day, 50-mile journey, hundreds of walkers traveled from northern Virginia to the U.S. Capitol to raise awareness and funds to fight MS.  The FGS team raised $10,000 with the grand total for the MS Challenge Walk soaring over $750,000.

MS Walk The donations support the National MS Society, which funds more MS research, offers more services for people with MS, provides more professional education programs and furthers more MS advocacy efforts than any other MS organization in the world. The National Capital Chapter of the National MS Society serves more than 18,000 people affected by MS in the Washington, D.C. area.
