It's not easy to pinpoint the cause of multiple sclerosis, and so
far, the cure rests on continuing research. Every hour, another
person is diagnosed with MS. For 20,000 people in Illinois and some
400,000 nationwide, that hour has already arrived. Money raised by
Walk MS helps to support research along with much-needed programs
and services that enhance the quality of life for people living with
multiple sclerosis.
People may register for the walk by calling 732-2339 or
online
at www.lincolnms.com.
Donations may be sent to Lincoln MS Walk, 23 Tulip Drive, Lincoln,
IL 62656.
