U. researchers to be honored at Walk MS

The 19th Annual Walk MS, Utah's Walk 2008, will include a short ceremony honoring two University of Utah researchers who recently received grants from the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.

Dr. Ikuo Tsunoda, research associate professor of neurology, and Dr. Andrea White, research associate professor of exercise and sports science, were each awarded grants of $44,000, bringing the total Utah funding by the National MS Society to more than $1.5 million.

The walk, sponsored by Questar, will kick off with the presentation at the Gateway Mall Grand Hall, starting at 9:15 a.m. Saturday. The address is 90 S. 400 West, Salt Lake City.
