Through the MDS Awareness Walk, the MDS Foundation hopes to raise awareness for myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), an often unrecognized and under-diagnosed rare group of bone marrow failure disorders that affects an estimated 12,000-20,000 people each year in the United States.

We want you to walk anywhere and in any way that feels safe.
