Volunteers are needed to cover a range of operations, including registering event participants, supporting the participants at the rest stops, distributing T-shirts, loading and unloading supplies, setting up refreshments, and cheerleading at the finish line.

“By volunteering to help with some of these operations folks contribute their time and energy to help more than 1,500 Delawareans with MS and their families, because the money we would spend on hired help goes instead to the chapter's programs and services as well as to MS research,” said Holly Maddams, the director of chapter development for the Delaware chapter.

“Most volunteer positions,” adds the chapter's development associate, Jenna Wagner, “require only four hours of your time on a weekend morning. Because it's a weekend, we like to encourage groups to volunteer as well as individuals. Each event has a wonderful, fun family atmosphere.”

For more information, contact Jenna Wagner at (302) 655-5610 or via e-mail at [jenna.wagner@MSdelaware.org].
