LITTLE ROCK — The University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) Department of Neurology in the College of Medicine received $65,000 for multiple sclerosis research from the Rampy MS Research Foundation during a ceremony today.

This is the third year the Rampy MS Research Foundation has conducted the run. Jo and Scott Rampy, along with other runners and walkers, relayed a check from Bentonville to Little Rock. The run was organized as part of the foundation’s Giving Tuesday fundraising efforts. The foundation made an initial pledge of $30,000 to UAMS, with donations made during the run added to the total amount.

“The Rampy Check Run is quickly becoming a favorite tradition at UAMS because it truly is inspiring to see all the participants give it their all every year for such a noble cause,” said Cam Patterson, M.D., MBA, UAMS chancellor and CEO of UAMS Health. “I am very thankful for all the advocates who shine a light on MS and help support the doctors and researchers tackling this problem.”
