North Battleford MS Walk planned for Sunday
Battlefords residents will have an opportunity to show their support for people living with Multiple Sclerosis by taking part in the annual walk fundraiser planned for this Sunday.
MS Society of Canada, Saskatchewan division development assistant Kat Matlock is involved in organizing the event and said she hopes to see a good turnout.
“It’s a disease that affects not only the people who live with MS but also the families who come together to manage the realities of the disease,” she said. “So it affects everyone. It’s important to recognize that, to raise awareness and raise funds.”
Funds raised from the event will benefit research and also help support local MS Society programs and services in the province. Some of the programs available for people with MS include yoga and weight training.
