Fund Raising & Team Building
Helps MS Events Break Records!
What's the secret to a great team? In 2006 the MS Society had the privilege of working with amazing businesses who demonstrated exactly what it takes to be a great team. Companies and friend and families rallied together in the Enerflex Super Cities WALK for MS and RONA MS Bike Tour while all working towards the same goal…finding a cure for MS.

Crystal Phillips Story:
Diagonsed with MS at just 20 years old, Crystal had been speed skating since she was six with a dream of some day representing Canada at the Olympics. After being diagnosed, her dreams have not changed, but rather the stepping stones to achieve her dreams. She believes that if people work together, they can raise a lot of money in support of MS research, find a cure and show how much they care. |
Karen Barron Story:
My son Levi was doagnosed in June 2005 with relapsing-remitting MS. The illness came on aggessively and greatly affected his mobility.
It is heartbreaking as a parent to know that there is nothing you can do to make it go away. It is because of this, our family will be participating in the Enerflex Super Cities WALK. |
