To
register for the 2023 MS Walk in Westchester or Rockland County as a
member of the Hot Flashes team:
To register yourself online (preferred):
Click on the link in the following table for the Walk that you would like to do; this will open up the
Hot Flashes team page for your selected Walk site in a separate window so you can toggle back
and forth between that one and this window as you follow the
instructions below. If
you will not be able to be at the MS Walk but would still like to join
the team and help raise funds to fight MS, please register for the
Westchester County MS Walk as a "Virtual Walker."
Click on the large orange "Join Our Team" button, located to the right of the image from the team T-shirt.
The MS Walk system nowuses an
e-mail address rather than a username to log on.
If you have already created an account using your e-mail address, click on the orange "Already have a Society account? Click here to log in." and enter your e-mail address and password.
If you don't have such an account, please create one.
On the next screen, pick
"Walker" or "Virtual Participant". If you pick "Walker" and
decide not to come to the actual walk at the last minute, you can still be a Virtual
Participant.
The
"Role" should be "Join a Team" (as opposed to an "Individual" walker
not on a team) and the "Team" selection should be already set to "Hot Flashes".
On the next screen, choose a
personal
fundraising goal (note: this is a target, not a mandatory amount). Then indicate whether you want to make a
donation
(online, with a credit card or PayPal) during the registration process.
This is optional, but it would be wonderful if you would do so.
Enter
the rest of your
Registration Details. You have the option to register one or more
children if you want (the MS Society requests that everyone who comes
to the MS Walk be registered, including children and babies).
You have to check that you agree with the Terms and Conditions.
Click on "Continue to Confirmation". Review your registration details on the next screen and correct any errors.
If you're making a contribution, select the payment method and enter the necessary information.
When you have completed the registration process, you will see a pop-up window thanking you for registering.
This would be a good time to customize your Personal Page. The
system sets one up for you, but it would be good if you can personalize
it.
Use the "Your Page" link at the top left of the web page. There
are a lot of options here; please explore them.
If you want to get back to your Participant Center at a later
time, please go to the Other Links section
of this web site and click on the link for the Hot Flashes Team
Page. If you're still signed in, you'll see your
name at the top right of the page. If not, click on the "LOGIN" button at the top right and sign in.
Once you've completed the process, please E-mail Meand let me know that you have
registered, so
that I can verify that you show up on my team roster. And if you'd
like, you can e-mail me your Username and Password to enter into my
team database, so that I can give them back to you if you need
them to re-register in a future year and don't remember them (I have already done this several times for team members).
To register without using the online system:
The MS Society no longer has a
standard non-online option for registration. However, if for some
reason you can't register yourself online, please E-mail Me
and send me your name, mailing address, phone number, e-mail adress,
date of birth, and name and phone number of an emergency contact person
for the day of the Walk. I will pass this information along to an MS
Society staffer who is willing to register a small number of people in
this way.
After you've registered:
Start raising money to fight MS.
You can click on the link in this sentence to download a copy of the Donation Record Form to keep track of what you raised, if you wish (you don't have to use this form, however).
