Walk MS is Saturday in Niles

NILES

Check-in for Walk MS in Mahoning Valley is at 8 a.m. Saturday at Scrappers Stadium, 111 Eastwood Mall Blvd. The walk starts at 9 a.m.

More than 350 people are expected to participate in the walk to raise awareness about multiple sclerosis and funds for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society (NMSS).

Walkers collect donations to help fund local quality-of-life programs and services for 20,000 Ohio residents living with multiple sclerosis and to fund MS-related medical research to help find a cure for the unpredictable, often disabling disease of the central nervous system. The NMSS funds research, advocates for change, facilitates professional education, and provides programs and services designed to help people with MS and their families move their lives forward.
