We reached our fundraising goal last week of earning the $50,000 gift from an anonymous donor! THANK YOU for your fundraising efforts - and don't stop now! A longtime Society supporter saw the Walk MS community rally together to ensure no one faces MS alone during this difficult time, and they felt inspired to give in a big way. They have challenged us to raise an additional $250,000 online by Friday, May 1 — if we do, they will donate $60,000! If you haven't done so already, please register: https://ntlms.org/walkMS20, set-up a Facebook Fundraiser - and join the challenge. Together we are stronger!

Based on recent guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), we will not host Walk MS events through June in person. Instead, we will continue to fuel life-changing breakthroughs for people affected by MS through an exciting virtual fundraising experience.

5 Reasons to Walk for MS Enjoy a walk for yourself

Pan-Seared Salmon with Julienne Vegetables
Firm-textured salmon is perfect for grilling indoors in our grill pan. The julienne vegetable medley cooks quickly in the same pan.

NONSTICK DOUBLE BURNER GRILL & PRESS SET

You can easily & quickly “grill” right on the stovetop in your kitchen—no worries about the weather or trying to grill outside in the dark. The ridged bottom creates rich sear marks on burgers, chops, chicken breasts, sandwiches, vegetables & more. You can make up to 8 servings at the same time.

{Day 2 Exercise}
Warrior III Row
Build balance, strength, & stamina with this yoga-inspired move that will sculpt your upper back and your core.

How to do it: Grab a pair of dumbbells & stand on your right leg, left leg extended behind you, toes lightly on the floor. Hinge forward from your hips, lowering your torso until your body forms a straight line from your head to your left heel. Your left leg should be lifted, foot flexed. Bend your elbows & pull the weights to the sides of your ribcage, palms facing in, then lower your arms towards floor, keeping your body as still as possible as arms row back & forth.

Continue for 30 seconds on the right leg, & then stand up to switch legs & repeat for 30 more seconds on the left leg.

Form tip: Find a focal point on the floor in front of you to help with your balance. If it's still too tough, modify the move by keeping your back foot lightly tapped on the floor as you row.

{Day 1 Exercise}
Crossing Pushup Fly
This compound move recruits several large muscle groups at once to maximize your calorie burn & condition your core.

How to do it:
Grab a pair of dumbbells & get into full plank position with your hands on top of the weights. Bend your right knee & cross your right leg over your left as you lower into a pushup. Press back up to plank, & immediately rotate your body to the left, picking up the dumbbell in your left hand as you open your chest and reach your left arm up to ceiling. Hold for 1 count. Slowly lower the weight back to center plank. Repeat the movement with your left leg crossing over, opening to right side. Continue alternating sides each for 1 minute, doing as many reps as you can with good form.

Form tip:
Keep your abs braced in tight the entire time to control your movements. If it's too tough to balance on top of the weights, place your hands on the floor & pick up the weight as you rotate. Still too challenging? Practice the move using just your bodyweight and add in the dumbbells when you feel ready.
