Events
Patient Education Day
Our UTHealth Patient Education Day has not yet been scheduled for 2024. We are considering changing to more frequent events on a weekday evening in a virtual format. If you have topics you would like to discuss with our MS experts, please contact Ryan Glenn ryan.glenn@uth.tmc.edu. Input from leaders or participants in existing patient support groups are welcome to reach out with suggestions for topics and preferred formats.
Walk MS
There are nearly 400 Walk MS events around the county, with 3 in the Houston-area alone. Walk MS brings together passionate people and raise funds to change the world for everyone affected by MS. With nearly 300,000 people fundraising and volunteering each year, Walk MS has generated for that $1 billion toward the mission of the NMSS. The 2024 Houston-area Walk was held April 6, 2024. We encourage you to form a team to walk or to support someone who is walking in future years. Check out www.walkms.org for more information and to sign up.

Bike MS/MS150
There are multiple Bike MS bicycle tours around the country, with 3 in Texas. These events are a major source of funding for the National MS Society, and are critical in maintaining the education and research programs of the NMSS. The largest event is the MS150 Houston to Austin ride, which is held in April each year. We encourage you to ride or to support someone who is riding. Check the Bike MS website for more information.
