Climb the Peak for MS Raises $38,189 to Support Groundbreaking Research Toward a Cure for Multiple Sclerosis
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Henniker, NH
If you ask any of the 4,000 people living with MS in New Hampshire what they dream of, it’s a cure. To ensure that remains the priority, Locke’s Promise partners directly with the National MS Society (NMSS) to advance research and accelerate progress toward better treatments — and ultimately, a cure.
The 2026 Climb the Peak for MS took place on June 6 in Henniker, NH, bringing together more than 150 hikers, volunteers, and supporters for a powerful day of community and purpose. The event raised a total of $38,189, which was formally presented to the National MS Society during a check ceremony held at Pats Peak on Friday, July 17, 2026.
Purpose & Impact Climb the Peak for MS is a community‑driven event focused on raising critical funds for the National MS Society. All proceeds from the event go directly to the NMSS to support groundbreaking MS research and national initiatives aimed at improving the lives of people living with MS.
The event also serves as a powerful gathering point for connection, encouragement, and shared purpose among those affected by MS and their supporters.

The funds raised through the Climb the Peak will help fuel groundbreaking research, accelerating scientific discoveries into meaningful progress toward better treatments — and ultimately, a cure.
