The CC Walkers are at it again! 
Please join Catherine Culligan and walk to help the fight against MS. 


We will be getting t-shirts for the walk. Please let me know your size and I will order one for you. Keep in mind that they are men's shirts and 100% cotton.

Can you imagine...

Having multiple sclerosis means that one morning you may not be able to walk when you wake up. Or that you may suddenly have impaired vision. Or that your memory will fail you for no apparent reason. The symptoms of MS are many and vary for everyone. It's estimated that approximately 55,000-75,000 men and women in Canada have the disease, and every day about three more people are diagnosed.

...a future without MS

I've registered for the MS Walk because I want to do something for everyone who lives with multiple sclerosis. With your help, together we can make a difference.
