6-mile path from York High School with a shorter one-mile route option available. The walk starts at 11 a.m. with checkin beginning at 10 a.m. Each walker agrees to raise a minimum of $25, but most walkers easily average over $200. Organized by the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, Greater New England Chapter, more than 200,000 walkers participate nationwide in Walk MS each year at more than 600 sites, raising over $30 million. Family and corporate Walk teams and volunteers can register online, www.walkMSgne. org, or by calling 1-800-3444867, and in person the day of the Walk. “Without Walk MS, we wouldn’t have the funds for newly diagnosed education and support,” said Heidi Eastman, Programs Manager. “Without Walk MS, we’d be set back 50 years to a time when there were no approved treatments for MS, and there was very little understanding about how MS works.” Last year, nearly 10,000 walkers participated in Walk MS throughout Maine, Mass., N.H., and Vermont, and raised well over $2.6 million. Eightyfive percent of monies raised by
the Chapter provide vital MS education, support, advocacy, and services in the local community, while funding cutting edge research into prevention, treatment, and cure. Of the many corporate sponsors that make Walk MS possible each year, our most loyal and generous are Spectrum Medical Group, CES, Subway, Dominos, Tim Horton’s, WHSN, and Ride Away. Multiple sclerosis interrupts the flow of information between brain and body and can stop people from moving forward in their lives. The progress, severity, and specific symptoms of MS in any one person cannot yet be predicted, but advances in research and treatment are moving us closer to a world free of MS. Most people with MS are diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 50, but teenagers and even young children can have the disease. More than twice as many women as men have MS, which affects more than 400,000 people in the U.S., and 2.1 million worldwide. The National Multiple Sclerosis Society helps each

aboard Flight 175 on September 11, 2001. By 2016, the Tramuto Foundation will have awarded $1 million in grants to individuals and organizations. “Before 2016 when several important milestones will be realized in my life,” Tramuto explained, “I would like to reach my personal goal of empowering organizations that work to improve the lives of the disadvantaged, although I fully intend to continue that mission for many years to come.” As Chairman, CEO and one of the founders of Physicians Interactive, headquartered in Reading, MA and the leading global provider of online and mobile clinical resources for healthcare professionals, Tra-
muto has long believed he had a responsibility to give back to society. “I have been very fortunate in my life,” he explained, “and when one is given much, there must be a conscience decision to give back to those who are facing serious challenges in their life.” In 2011, Tramuto founded Health eVillages, a program of the not-for-profit Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice & Human Rights and Physicians Interactive, which provides stateof-the-art mobile health technology including medical reference and clinical decision support resources to medical professionals in the most challenging clinical environments around the world.
