WALK MS

@Coca-Cola Park

Saturday, April 20 (10:00am)

Multiple Sclerosis is a disease that can affect the brain and spinal cord. It's a lifelong condition that can cause serious disability and in rare cases, death. There is no cure for Multiple Sclerosis, however constant improvements in treatment slow progression of the disease.

The wife of WAEB's Dan Holzman was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in September 2008. Since that time, medication funded by events like Walk MS have allowed her to keep the disease at bay and she continues to do very well with daily medication.

If you'd like to donate directly to WAEB's Dan Holzman, click here.

If you'd prefer to donate via check, make the check payable to the NATIONAL MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS SOCIETY and mail it to:

WAEB
