SUNDAY, MAY 26 ANGRIGNON PARK
The Montreal MS Walk will celebrate its 25th anniversary this year. This was the very first Walk organized in Quebec and it brings out the most walkers in Quebec – over 700 people. In 2018, more than $1,046,827 was raised in Quebec, including $217,893 in Montreal. The money raised by the Walk is used to fund MS research and a wide range of programs and services for people affected by this disease. To take part, people with multiple sclerosis and their families and friends work throughout the year, alone or in teams, to raise money for the cause. On the day of the event, close to 30,000 people walk at the same time, across Canada from coast to coast.
This is an enjoyable, friendly and universally accessible event, full of hope and emotion. Come and walk with us at Angrignon Park!
For more information, contact the Quebec Division’s Office at 514 849-7591.
