Historic Richmond Town

The MS WALK is now marking its 6th anniversary on Staten Island and is one of the largest organized WALKing events of it's kind in the nation. Currently, over 400,000 individuals participate annually in a MS WALK offered in 50 states across the country.

WSIA joined Staten Island on this cold grey morning to support the people walking to help the MS cause. As always, WSIA broadcast live from the event and gave away lots of goodies to the particpants of the walk. If you couldn't make it to the event, here is a glimpse of what you missed:
