The next Enerflex MS WALK will be in June 2010.
This is a fundraising event to help people affected by MS that takes place at Prince’s Island Park. Over 2000 Calgarians come out to support the cause and enjoy the park, the food and the entertainment.
The Enerflex MS WALK is the MS Society’s largest pledge-based fundraising event with over 70,000 participants and volunteers taking part in 160 locations across Canada in the spring and early fall. The 4, 8 and 12 km walking event is unique in the world of fundraising events because there is always a wheel-chair accessible route. It’s an important consideration especially for those who have multiple sclerosis. Common symptoms of MS include numbness, extreme fatigue and loss of balance.
Reasons to fundraise:
There is no registration fee for the event, however this is a fundraiser to help people in our community with MS. The average pledge amount raised in 2009 was over $300 per person. You also can qualify for t-shirts, gift cards, Lululemon and other great prizes by bringing in more pledges.
