Spring is here and the Walk MS Shreveport is coming up this weekend... Saturday, April 9 at the Louisiana Boardwalk!

More than 500 walkers are expected to come out and help raise the goal of $50,000. Funds raised will support direct services for the more than 4,000 people with MS and their families in Louisiana and research to find a cure for this chronic disease of the central nervous system.

There is no cost to register, and online registration is currently open. Day-of-event registration begins at 7 a.m., followed by an 8 a.m. start time. There is no registration fee and no minimum pledge commitment; however, the average walker raises $100 to support research initiatives, programs and services of the National MS Society: Louisiana. Individuals interested in joining or creating a team can sign up online with co-workers, friends, family or neighbors.
