Clay Walker announced Tuesday afternoon (Nov. 6) at the Vanderbilt Stallworth Rehabilitation Hospital in Nashville that his foundation, BAMS (Band Against Multiple Sclerosis), will donate $25,000 for research toward a cure for multiple sclerosis. Walker also said the foundation plans to donate a similar amount toward MS research annually during the next three years. Walker, who was diagnosed with MS in 1996, said, "It is important for me to give back now because I have been so blessed." He later added, "There are a lot of people out there who aren't doing so well with multiple sclerosis, and we want to be their ray of hope."
