It is especially illuminating when performed by Joyce Yang, the young &ldquo million-volt&rdquo Van Cliburn Silver Medalist.

What if we could connect every person living with MS? Every person who cares about someone with MS. Every family affected by it. Everyone who has seen what this disease can do to people. What if we could come together, even one day a year, to show the power of our connections? At Walk MS, our connections become more powerful than the connections MS destroys.
When you participate in Walk MS, the funds you raise give hope to the more than 7,000 people living with MS in our community. The dollars raised support life-changing programs and cutting-edge research. We&rsquo ve been walking since 1988 and have raised more than $10 million dollars to help support people living with MS.
