The Last Dance on Sunday March, 18th 2025


We, The Johnnie Walkers, are about to achieve one of our goals: taking decades of research on repairing MS damage, out of the laboratory and transitioning into the clinic.

Dr. Stephen Miller at Northwestern School of Medicine and his collaborators are tying up loose ends this coming year. This is a very big deal! We need to raise $50,000 to complete this transition.

As a result of your unwavering support and generous donations, we have raised over $1 million. So, after 30 years, this Walk will be the last one for fundraising.

 What happens next? All this research needs to be distilled into a pill. Two biopharmaceutical giants, Takeda & Genentech, have contracted to take this technology and invest resources to do the human clinical trials to get FDA approved therapeutic on the market. Then we will accomplish our bigger goal of getting me and millions of others out of our crowded scooter and back on our feet. WOW!

 Join us and be part of our team; walk and donate on Sunday, May 19th in Lincolnshire.  At 10:30 am, we will start a 4 mile neighborhood walk, followed by an afternoon of camaraderie and a backyard picnic (sunny and warm this year, please!).

There are three options to donate:
