Why I'm Riding . . .

I have been blessed not to experienced MS through family or friends. I do have friends who's lives have been touched by MS, my college roommate's dad suffered from MS and died from related conditions. So mostly I'm doing this because I know that anything done to help will someday make a huge difference in a lot of people's lives.

My interest was peaked last year when a coworker decided to ride, the idea of riding from Houston to Austin just fascinated me. I'm not sure I still have full faith in my ability, but with six months to train, I will get there!

Can I count on your help?

Why I’m Moving Forward

Multiple sclerosis is a progressive neurological disorder that affects people in many different ways. It could be paralysis one day, loss of vision the next or impaired memory the day after that. Living with MS means living with uncertainty.

When it comes to MS, only two things are certain:
Another American is diagnosed every hour of every day
Many people are joining the movement toward a world free of MS including me.

Let’s Move Forward Together

The Society’s chapters organize 100 Bike MS events nationwide. The BP MS 150 ride is the largest non-profit event of its kind in North America with 13,000 cyclists, 3,000 volunteers and countless supporters and spectators. They’re great fun and the funds they raise go toward research aimed at treating and eventually curing MS. They also provide education, information, direct financial aid and scholarships to individuals and families living with MS.

I’m helping the National MS Society move forward toward a world without MS.
