The weekend’s Walk MS events attracted a total of more than 10,000 participants statewide. To date the 2014 Walk MS, presented by Travelers, has raised $1.1 million toward a $1.3 million goal. Walk MS individuals and teams are encouraged to continue raising funds through Friday, May 23, the official deadline for prizes. Suggestions for increasing fundraising totals include, launching letter writing campaigns, utilizing  social media networking sites to reach out to contacts and hosting fun-filled wrap around events, such as backyard barbeques, beer and wine tastings, and theme parties.
