Walk for MS
This weekend marks the first of two San Diego walks to raise funds for Multiple Sclerosis (MS). MS is a disease with no known cause or cure. It is a chronic, often disabling disease of the central nervous system, characterized by mild symptoms such as numbness in the limbs, or severe symptoms that can include paralysis and/or loss of vision.
San Diego’s walks for MS are our part of the six-hundred walks planned throughout the world this year to raise funds to cure this disease.
Saturday, April 19
LEGOLAND will close on Saturday morning to accommodate walkers on their two-mile trek through the park. Rest stops along the route are planned with beverages, snacks, entertainment and restrooms.
The walk will be followed by lunch provided by Papa John’s Pizza, live music, and festivities such as face painting, inflatable fun jumps, building with LEGOS, and other family activities at the LEGOLAND California Fun Zone.
