The Delaware Chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society has already gotten a valuable gift for this year’s Walk MS: University of Delaware. ASPIRE, a student organization, will be generously giving support to the event.

ASPIRE, which stands for “academic support program inspiring renaissance educators”, works toward the objective of recruiting and maintaining minorities as education majors.

Lead by student representative, Taria Pritchett, ASPIRE will assume various sponsorship responsibilities during the fundraiser.

“ASPIRE supports Walk MS in a number of ways,” says Jennie Welch, the event coordinator for the Delaware Chapter, “and all of them enable us to put more of the money we raise into MS research and the programs and services needed by more than 1,500 Delawareans with MS and their families. Needless to say, we are very grateful for the help that ASPIRE gives us.”

The walk is scheduled for Sunday, May 3, starting at 10:00 a.m. The course starts at the University’s Perkins Student Center, meanders through Newark, and the 2.5 mile route finishes up on The Green.
