The fog was thick but the resolve thicker as thousands turned out for the annual walk against MS.
People suffering from multiple sclerosis joined with family, friends, and supporters for the Walk MS 2014 Saturday morning at the AT&T Center. The event raised a little over $205,000 and the money helps people living in Texas with multiple sclerosis and funds national research and support programs.
Alyssa Smith, the development manager of Walk MS San Antonio, said they expected 3,200 people at the event. She said it’s not just about the walk, however. “You’ll see on the start line people getting out of their wheelchairs for the first time in maybe 364 days, because they’re going to walk today, because this is Walk MS.” “That’s what makes our event a little unique because it is this silent disease for some people, where they do not share necessarily how it affects them and their family.”
Thank you to all who participated in this walk!!
