Thank You!

Severe weather led to the difficult decision to cancel Day 2 of the 2016 BP MS 150, but it didn’t dampen anyone’s spirit or quest to change the world for people affected by MS!

On Saturday, April 16, approximately 10,000 cyclists rallied together on Day 1 to make the trek from Houston, Katy and Waller to cross the celebratory finish line at the Fayette County Fairgrounds in La Grange - our overnight Home on the Range!

A huge shout out to all Riders, Fundraisers, Teams, Sponsors, Donors, Volunteers, Supporters & Community Partners - we couldn’t do it without you! Together, we are helping people living with MS live their best lives today.

Relive the moment from ABC-13.
