Volunteers can come out and participate in this fundraising activity. The funds that volunteers will raise will help to enrich the lives of those affected with Multiple Sclerosis. This activity is held not only to raise money but also to encourage those who have MS to participate in swimming. Swimming helps to stretch muscles and encourage a larger range of movement for those with MS. To learn more visit Multiple Sclerosis Association of America
