Thank you very much for supporting the National MS Society, Greater Illinois Chapter’s Walk MS. As you know, MS interrupts the flow of information between the brain and the body and stops people from moving. With your help, the National MS Society addresses the challenges of each person whose life is affected by MS and helps then stay connected to the great big moving world.

We appreciate your kindness and thank you for joining the movement to create a world free of MS.

Sincerely,

John V. Blazek President, Greater Illinois Chapter
