"If I can be here and be even the tiniest part of funding research and ending a disease, that'd be something worth living for." - Tom McFarland (1956-2023) Today we remember Tom, an extraordinary volunteer who dedicated his retired years to improving the lives of people living with MS. Year after year, Tom showed up at Walk, Bike and Hike events, putting a smile on participants’ faces. He is a shining example of the vital role our volunteers play in the MS Movement. This #NationalVolunteerWeek, we celebrate all the volunteers who help make these events possible.
