Volunteering for the Walk

The success of the Challenge Walk MS is directly related to the wonderful volunteers who help make the event go off without a hitch. We welcome volunteers with a wide range of talents and skills.  There is only one requirement: to want to do something about MS NOW. There are many jobs to choose from including registration and cheering at the finish line!

Crew: a group of dedicated individuals that travels with us for three days supporting the Challenge Walk MS (see below for details).

Volunteers: Give a hand for an hour or a day and make a difference (see below for details).

Challenge Walk Volunteers


Crew

Please note: Crew members must pay the $75 registration fee to participate. This helps to underwrite housing and meal costs and to ensure that Challenge Walk MS donations go directly to our mission to end MS forever.

Crew members are not required to raise the minimum contribution. However, crew members are highly encouraged to raise at least $200 to become a "Super Crew " member.

What will I do as a Crew Member?

This will vary on your interests and your skills. Once you register online, we will set up a time to meet with you in person or over the phone to find the best fit. We need: doctors, nurses, EMT's, paramedics, physical therapists, massage therapists and people to support the route. We need people to set up the rest stops, supervise luggage, and distribute food and more. We will find the best place for you.

Will I be trained?

You will receive a Challenge Walk MS Guide and Crew Information Manual with detailed job descriptions for each Crew position. In addition, we will host a Crew meeting so that you will meet other Crew members and participate in a question and answer session.  CREW TRAINING SCHEDULE

How many Crew Members will there be?
