All your hard work has really paid off. Thanks for taking part and helping to put MS behind us.
One of the youngest participants in The May 50K was 10-year-old Connie. Connie was diagnosed with paediatric MS just 18 months ago, so she had extra motivation to complete The May 50K. She wanted to help raise funds and awareness, and she also wanted to prove that MS isn’t going to stop her from taking on the world – and achieving her goals. The result? Connie smashed the challenge and ‘Connie’s Crew’ raised over $283,000. (Insert wild applause here!)
But it wasn’t just Connie who contributed. The MS community, including 19,493 people like you, ran, walked, cheered, encouraged and supported. Friends and family pitched in generously. Those wonderful efforts raised over $3.5 million to accelerate MS research, and we couldn’t be prouder.
