The New York City – Southern New York Chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society will host Bike MS New York City 2014 on Sunday, October 5, 2014 where 5,000 cyclists are expected to participate. This event offers a traffic-free 30 mile route circling Manhattan, or a traffic-free ride through the Holland Tunnel, to experience the 55 or 100 mile routes that wind through New Jersey, and Rockland County. The goal is to raise $3 million in support of the chapter’s hundreds of annual comprehensive programs and services for people living with MS in the five boroughs of NYC, and in Westchester, Putnam, Rockland, Orange and Sullivan counties. Join our Event Volunteer Team and contribute your energy and passion to help the chapter move toward a world free of multiple sclerosis.
