Walk MS App
Download the Walk MS App to raise funds and awareness for a world free of MS. There are exciting new features — like mobile check deposit and activity trackers — to help you take the extra step with your fundraising and connect with your Walk MS community.
1. Install the App
- Get the app now on Google Play or Apple App Store.
- Log in with the same username and password as when you registered/your Fundraising Center.
2. Track Your Steps
Integrate your miles walked to your fundraising. Track your activity leading up to Walk MS and the day of the event to keep your team and donors updated and excited about your fundraising progress.
- Tap the Get Active button at the bottom of the app.
- You’ll see an icon to sync the app to either your Apple Health or Google Fit to access your location.
If you have an activity tracker:
- Provide authorization for the app to sync to your activity data. If you cannot sync all your activity data, go to your phone’s settings to allow full access.
- If your activity tracking device (like a FitBit or Garmin) is connected to your Apple Health or Google Fit, your activity data will automatically upload into the Walk MS app.
If you do not have an activity tracker:
- Within the MS Society App, you can manually record your activity by clicking the green Start button, then pressing the red “Stop” button to save your activity.
- You can also manually add an activity retrospectively by clicking the “plus (+)” button next to the text “Activities” in the top left. The top navigation on the Get Active page lets you see you and your team’s activities and contact your entire team.
3. Fundraise
The app makes it easy to fundraise on the go! Deposit checks, post to social media, and text and email right from your phone's contacts.
4. Enter Donations
It’s easier than ever to enter donations.
- Click the “Fundraise” button at the bottom of the app.
- Choose “Enter Donations” on the top navigation bar.

5. Earn Badges
Complete challenges to earn badges for your accomplishments! Challenges range from walking a set amount of miles to walking multiple days in a row.
