Multiple Steps event raises awareness about Multiple Sclerosis
On a mild Wednesday evening, over 450 walkers and runners, some in costumes and others in wheelchairs, participated in the Hawke's Bay Multiple Sclerosis Society Multiple Steps fundraising event.
MS affects one in every thousand people, so many of those participating live with the MS or know someone with the condition.
We provided resources, facilities and refreshments as part of our Giving for Good programme, in support of our colleague Kendall Hinton, who was diagnosed with MS several years ago.
MS manifests in a wide spectrum of conditions from mild pain to severe disability. Progress with treatment and management allows many MSers to lead fully functioning lives. While genetic and environment factors influence the condition, the cause remains unknown.
This event provides a friendly opportunity for serious runners and recreational walkers, while raising awareness of the work of the MS Society.
MS Hawke's Bay is represented by Nicola Brown, 06 835-8542.
