Thank You
Thank you to all who made the first Heartland Border Walk for MSTM a huge success. It would not have been possible without our walkers, volunteers and sponsors. The steps we took in 2009 will ensure future steps for those living with MS. Raising over $57,000 on May 29, 30 and 31, 2009 showed this inaugural event’s success by pounding the pavement in Olathe.

Several thousand people and families live with MS in the Kansas City Metropolitan area. The majority of the funds raised will be used to help fight MS by funding research as well as patient assistant programs.

Walkers and volunteers made our inaugural walk a huge success by showing that a small group of dedicated people can make a difference in many lives by taking one step at a time. The Hope in our Hearts will carry us through to next year, when we continue our journey towards THE CURE!

We look forward to seeing you in 2010!! Mark your calendar for June 4, 5 & 6, 2010 and join us for the Second annual Heartland Border Walk for MSTM

About MS
MS is an autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system (CNS). The CNS consists of the brain, spinal cord, and the optic nerves. Surrounding and protecting the nerve fibers of the CNS is a fatty tissue called myelin, which helps nerve fibers conduct electrical impulses.

In MS, myelin is lost in multiple areas, leaving scar tissue called sclerosis. These damaged areas are also known as plaques or lesions. Sometimes the nerve fiber itself is damaged or broken.

Build a Team
A Border Walk Team consists of four or more members who are taking the Heartland Border Walk journey together. Team members support each other in their fundraising and training and build lasting memories by sharing this incredible experience. Participating, as part of a team is a great way to enhance what is already an incredibly meaningful experience. With the support of your team, training and fundraising are actually easier. Together, as a team, you are a force even greater than what you can accomplish alone. A team multiplies the fun, laughter, and tears you share along the way, and multiplies your impact on the fight against multiple sclerosis. At the bottom of this page you'll find tips on team building, team training and team fundraising.
