VIP MS, aka the MS Warriors from Vashon Island raised $4,025 for the Walk MS benefiting the National Multiple Sclerosis Society; the team walked yesterday at Husky Stadium with about 11,000 other walkers.

There have been several promising breakthroughs relating to the neurological condition, putting research fundraising as a top priority as the Society edges toward the causes of and cures for MS.
