More than 6,300 Connecticut residents battle the effects of multiple sclerosis, a potentially debilitating disease that affects the central nervous system. In a show of support each year hundreds of loved ones, friends, neighbors and co-workers throughout East Hartford and surrounding communities, including Manchester and Vernon, will step out in solidarity for a single cause: to create a world free of MS.

For the second time, Rentschler Field will host the 2015 Walk MS, presented by Travelers, on Saturday, April 25. Walkers will check in at 9 a.m. at the East Gate and step out at 10 a.m. To register, click HERE or https://secure3.convio.net/nmss/site/SPageNavigator/WLK_CTN_homepage.html;jsessionid=3E75042771AE3DE391CC0865D094B4E6.app321a
