Volunteers needed for three Walk MS events

Posted

The Rhode Island Chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society anticipates a great response to Walk MS on April 6, in Narragansett and Providence, and May 3, in Bristol, and is in need of volunteers at all three Walk MS sites.

Volunteers are essential to making the event a success and people are needed for activities such as registration and t-shirt distribution in Bristol, Narragansett, and Providence. We also need volunteers to staff the rest stops along the walk routes.

Those who would like to be part of the MS community and help inspire those around them are asked to go online to www.walkmsrhodeisland.org and click on Volunteer in the left column.

Walkers are always needed and there are many walk options including May 3 in Bristol, walkers will enjoy a 6.2-mile course; April 6 in Providence, walkers will follow a 3-mile course and April 6 in Narragansett, walkers can choose from 6.2-mile or 3-mile walks.  

In all locations, registration opens at 8:30 a.m., with a mass walk start at 10 a.m. Walkers are encouraged to register early and fundraise to help Rhode Islanders with MS and raise money to fund research to find a cure. 

For those of you who prefer two wheels, the MS 25 Quick Ride is a family-friendly, 25-mile bicycle ride starting and ending in Narragansett on April 6. To register, visit www.bikemsrhodeisland.org.

For runners, Run MS: 5K Rhode Race will be in Bristol on May 3. Run MS is on a certified course through beautiful Colt State Park and trophies will be awarded immediately following the race. To register, visit www.walkmsrhodeisland.org.
