The Carolinas Challenge Walk is a three-day 50 mile walk that begins in historic Charleston, SC. Participants in the walk raise a minimum of $1,500 and accept the challenge on a journey toward a world free of MS!

Many volunteers are needed to support this walk. Rest stops are set up every three miles and water stops every mile and a half. Hosting a rest stop is fun! Let your creativity run wild and create an atmosphere that rejuvenates the walkers and sends them on their way, refreshed and energized.

We need Rest Stop Captains, Medical Volunteers, Athletic Trainers, Physical Therapists, HAM Radio Operators, Supply Truck Drivers, and more to serve as “Crew” for the weekend. As crew, you would commit to the three days of the Challenge Walk to support the walkers each step of the way!

If you are only able to commit for a few hours or for one day of the event, that’s okay! We need volunteers to help with registration, serve as lunch runners, help with set-up and break-down, and so much more!

The Carolinas Challenge Walk will be held March 4th-6th in Charleston, SC. To learn more about the Carolinas Challenge Walk MS and to register, go to: wwwchallengeMS.org.

My own service-learning experience helped me to change my undergraduate major to social work. As a student worker with the program, I gained so many skills that helped me to be successful as a social worker and change agent after graduation. Now I help student workers develop these same skills and find the same passion for creating positive change that I have felt."
