Thirteen great team names from the 2012 MS Walk

A couple of weeks ago, we encouraged you to start building your team for the 2013 MS Walk. Hopefully you’ve had a chance to start recruiting a group of dedicated and enthusiastic friends, family and co-workers to walk with you. But what will you call yourselves? A fun, clever or meaningful moniker can help build team spirit and is an easy way to identify yourselves during your fundraising efforts. Using your family, loved one’s or organization’s name is a classic choice, but some of our walkers take a different approach.

As inspiration, here’s a photo set of 13 great team names from last year’s event!

Two weeks until the National Women's Show!

We’re pleased to be attending the National Women’s Show again this year. Between October 19 and 21, you’ll find the MS Walk team at booth #207.

Register for the 2013 MS Walk at the National Women’s Show and you’ll receive a free meal coupon for Mandarin, a pedometer and be entered to win a grand prize.

We look forward to seeing you!

Our thanks

This weekend many Canadians will celebrate Thanksgiving, an opportunity to take a moment and appreciate the joys in their lives, both big and small. The MS Walk team is grateful – today and every day – for the participants, donors, sponsors and volunteers who contribute their time, energy, funds and resources to help us end MS.

What are you thankful for? Share in the comments below or on Facebook or Twitter.

We hope your weekend is full of family, friends and, of course, good food!

October is International Walk to School Month

Today marks the beginning of International Walk to School Month (IWALK), which was celebrated last year in over 40 countries around the world. Founded in Great Britain in 1994, the month aims to increase physical activity, raise concern for the environment and reduce traffic, noise and speed around schools.

You can find out how Ontarians can get involved with this month’s special events via SafeRoutesToSchool.ca, but why stop there? Keep walking throughout the year, students and non-students alike, and you’ll be more than ready for the 2013 MS Walk come May!
