Etobicoke Mandarin MS Walk



Warren Horowitz lives in Toronto and has been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis
 for many years.  This year, he decided to give back to the community and joined 
the volunteer committee for the 2013 Etobicoke Mandarin MS Walk.  

Warren often tells people “I was not born with this disease and I hope I do not
 die with it”.  Warren believes it is important that he donate his time to coordinate
 events, like the Etobicoke Walk, to help raise funds so that a cure or vaccine for 
MS can be found in his lifetime.  Warren likes to compare MS to polio.  Not too 
long ago, millions of people were afflicted with this disease and many would die 
from it.  Today, polio has been eradicated.  Warren says “Wouldn’t it be amazing 
if the same could be said about MS 40 or 50 years from now?” 

Canadians have one of the highest rates of multiple sclerosis in the world 
and it is often diagnosed in men and women between the ages of 15 -40.  


To support Ontarians who are affected by MS – the MS Society will host their annual
 walk in Etobicoke on Sunday May 5, 2013.  This walk helps those people in our 
community affected by MS by raising money for vital research, demonstrating
 a show of community support and raising awareness of this disease.
