What is My MS Woof?

My MS Woof is the MS Society’s October dog walking challenge.

Last year, we announced that the number of people living with MS in the UK has increased to over 150,000. So, the My MS Woof challenge is to walk, run, roll or stroll up to 150km in October. If 150km feels like a stretch – you can do 50km, 100km, or choose a distance that works best for you and your four-legged friend.

By signing up you will receive a free MS Society bandana for your dog 🐶

If your adventures help raise £75 or more, you will earn a MS Society t-shirt. Hit the £300 mark and we’ll send you a MS Society bobble hat as a special thank you!
