Ben Rosenbaum & Erin Krakow Hit Their MS Fundraising Goal — and Now They’re Matching

“When Calls the Heart” stars Ben Rosenbaum and Erin Krakow just hit a major milestone, and they are not stopping there.

The couple announced on Instagram that they reached their $15,000 fundraising goal for the 2026 Walk MS: Greater Los Angeles event. To keep momentum going, Rosenbaum revealed they will match every donation made between now and the start of tomorrow’s walk.

“We have already reached our goal of $15,000 thanks to your incredible generosity and support,” Rosenbaum wrote in his post. “That success has us so excited that we are going to MATCH any donations made through the link in our bios between now and the start of the walk tomorrow at 9am.”


The Walk Is Scheduled for Sunday

The 2026 Walk MS: Greater Los Angeles takes place Sunday, March 29, at the Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena, California. Walk MS is the National MS Society’s largest annual gathering, bringing together the MS community to raise funds and support those living with the disease.

Hallmark star Nikki Paek jumped into the comments to cheer them on, writing that it was “amazing” they reached their goal and wishing the couple, and their baby on the way, a fun day at the walk.


Over a Decade of Giving

According to TV Insider, Rosenbaum has walked for MS for over a decade, and this year Krakow joined him as a walker for the first time, stepping out from behind the scenes to take part alongside him.

“It’s a cause that’s near and dear to our hearts, and it’s been really meaningful to see all the ways you’ve come out to support it over the years,” Krakow said when they announced the fundraiser earlier this month.

The couple sweetened the deal for donors with a raffle. Every $20 donation earns one raffle entry for exclusive “When Calls the Heart” merchandise, with no limit on the number of entries.


A Big Year for the Couple

Krakow and Rosenbaum married in June 2025, and announced their first pregnancy in November 2025. Fans in the comments noted the timing of a very pregnant Krakow walking a charity 5K the day before her due window.

Anyone who wants to donate before the 9 a.m. start can find the link in Ben Rosenbaum’s Instagram bio.

The walk kicks off at 9 a.m. at the Rose Bowl and is open to the public.
