Are You Up to the Challenge!

TeamMS needs You.

Become a Leader. Recruit a Team.
Help make a difference in the fight to end MS. 

There’s no better way to experience the satisfaction of completing one of our events than as a team.  As hundreds of participants across BC will tell you, so much more can be achieved through teamwork!  Teams raise more money and teams have more fun. In 2007, 68% of BC Bike & WALK participants were on a team and were responsible for raising more than 70% of the total funds! All funds that keep the hope of a cure for MS alive and provide services to the more 8,000 British Columbians affected by MS.

Ready, Set, Go! TeamMS Plan

Follow our easy three-step process to forming a successful team!

Volunteers can join TeamMS too!

Are you or someone you know interested in being part of this event but can’t cycle or walk?  Or have you participated for many years but feel you might need an extra challenge this year?

Not only can Bike and WALK participants create teams, but volunteers can too!  Encourage your friends, family, and co-workers to volunteer and join your team. 

An official team consists of a Team Captain and 3 (or more) members.  Your team can be made up of both participants and volunteers – anyone who registers and raises the minimum pledge for that event. A team member can even be both participant and volunteer at the same time! It’s a great way to have fun and support a great cause to the maximum of your ability.

When registering for an event as a fundraising volunteer on a team, please follow the usual registration steps and then contact Jackie Nelson, TeamMS Coordinator at 604-602-3200 or jackie.nelson@mssociety.ca 
Be sure to put "TeamMS Participant who is also Volunteering" in the subject line and include, in the body of your email, your event name (i.e. Vancouver WALK, Chilliwack WALK, Fraser Valley Grape Escape), your team name and your team captain’s name.

Jackie will coordinate your TeamMS and volunteer experience with Stacey Bradshaw, Coordinator of Volunteer Services. Stacey can be reached directly at 604-602-3215 or stacey.bradshaw@mssociety.ca
