MS Society - Kingston Chapter


The 2008 MS Walk was a HUGE Success in the Frontenac Lennox and Addington Area. Walks were held in Kingston and Napanee. We thank ALL the Walkers and Volunteers for their contributions to this success! It is people like you that make these days and events the successes that they are. It is the knowledge that "Attitude is Everything", that contributes to the positive daily outlook of people with MS, their caregivers and society as a whole!

MS BBQ Held at Price Choppers on Saturday May 2008. The Cash and BBQ were manned by Volunteers from the local MS Chapter. We thank Price Choppers for the wonderful offer to raise funds for our chapter!
