National Multiple Sclerosis Society President and CEO Cindy Zagieboylo will be participating in Challenge Walk MS Cape Cod this September. She shares her thoughts about what it means to her and also a training selfie:

I'm excited about the upcoming Challenge Walk MS on Cape Cod! The Challenge Walk MS is a wonderful metaphor for what it takes to be resilient: Setting goals (50 miles and raising funds), engaging others (some join your team and some support with financial contributions), receiving support (encouragement on the route, rest stops), and providing support (encouraging others makes us stronger). Much of what I have learned about resiliency has been from connecting with people affected by multiple sclerosis.

I plan to make new connections during the Challenge Walk MS and deepen the connections I already have. My team is called "50 Miles – All Smiles". Let's walk together!

Welcome to the team, Cindy Zagieboylo!

Cyndi began her career with the NMSS in 1985 at the Massachusetts chapter as a director of support services. She now serves as president and CEO of the national organization.
