The BC and Yukon Chapter of the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada will be holding its fourth annual Scotiabank MS Walk this Sunday at Shipyards Park.

Registration will open at 10 a.m. with the walk beginning at 11 a.m.

The route will go along the Millennium Trail from Shipyards Park, past the SS Klondike and Robert Service Campground and back to Shipyards Park, a total of 8 km.

The Scotiabank MS Walk is the largest of the MS Society's fundraising events, with Whitehorse participants raising $10,000 last year.

There is still time to participate – those interested can go to www.mswalks.ca to register and receive your pledge form.

Multiple Sclerosis is a chronic, often disabling disease of the central nervous system.

It is the most common neurological disease of young adults in Canada. Most people with MS are diagnosed between the ages of 15 and 40, and the unpredictable effects of MS can last for the rest of their lives.

The MS Society provides services to people with MS and their families and funds research to find the cause, prevention, treatment and cure for this disease.
