Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
•Are there changes in walk locations this
year?
We are excited to have new sites in Volusia
County and Pinellas County. We are also looking forward to our Fall MS Walk
campaign with sites to include Tampa and Vero Beach! See start
sites for details.
•Can I turn in money even if I don't walk?
Yes!! Call 1-800-FIGHTMS to learn how to earn
prizes even without attending! If you cannot come to the MS Walk be a Phantom
Walker instead! Volunteers can raise funds also!
•How do I turn in my pledges?
Money can be turned in at any time. Before the
event or on the day of the event. You may even continue to raise money
for one month after the Walk and still be eligible for prizes! Please
include your full name with any money mailed to the National MS Society so that
we can be sure to credit your total! Send to:
MS Society - MS Walk
3659 Maguire Blvd. Suite 110
Orlando, FL 32803
•What is E-Pledging
To make fund-raising even easier, we now offer
an on-line system for collecting pledges known as e-pledging. This system is
free and easy to use. When you register
online, provide an e-mail address and unique user name. You will receive an
e-mail confirmation and password to your personal pledge page within a day or
two. Next, write your fund-raising letter/e-mail, include a link directly
to your personal pledge page on the National MS Society's Web site and contact
everyone in your e-mail address book! It couldn't be easier for friends
and family to sponsor you securely with their credit cards. You will receive an
e-mail notice each time you receive a pledge. The payment is credited to
the National MS Society, Mid Florida Chapter automatically. No more
handling cash and checks. No more postage. It will be easier than
ever to surpass your fund-raising goal!
•Do I register differently if I'm on a
team?
You must still register individually even if
you're on a team. Be sure to indicate the Team Name and Team Captain's Name on
your registration form. Donations will be calculated per individual. Team
totals will be calculated automatically for all official members of a team.
•How much money do I have to raise?
There is a $25 pledge minimum for the MS
Walk. The average walker raised $125 in 2001. To receive the
commemorative t-shirt, you must raise at least $75.
•What if it rains on MS Walk day?
The event will take place rain or shine. If
weather becomes dangerous, however, the event will be rescheduled.
•How long will it take to finish the
route?
This depends on what route you choose. An
average walker walks about three miles an hour. Please keep your health
situation in mind when choosing your route. A 5K Walk = approx. 3 miles.
A 10K = approx. 6 miles.
