Why We Fight MS

Having multiple sclerosis means that you may suddenly have blurry vision. Or that your memory will fail you for no apparent reason. Or that you may not always be able to walk, let alone ride a bike. The symptoms of MS are different, and devastating, for everyone - the only certainty is that it will affect yet another person every hour of every day.

Why I Ride

I've registered for the MS Bike Tour because I want to do something for the people who have been diagnosed -esp. my son, Wes, pictured here at our last MS Ride in Columbia, MO.He was diagnosed 3 years ago while serving in the Air Force. Fortunately, he received treatment early and is still physically active.The last 2 years he was able to finish the entire 150 miles!! He is an inspiration to all who know and love him. It is very fulfilling to ride for all those individuals affected by MS. Our team last year was composed of young and "older" riders and we had a blast :)

Why You Should Sponsor Me

The National Multiple Sclerosis Society will use funds collected from the MS Bike Tour to not only support research for a cure tomorrow, but also to provide programs which address the needs of people living with MS today. Because we can fight this disease by simply riding a bike, because we have chosen to help thousands of people through a contribution to the MS Bike Tour, we are now getting closer to the hour when no one will have to hear the words, "You have MS."
