About the Ride

On June 27-28, 2009 I will be cycling in the 24th Annual Colorado Bike MS Ride. This event attracts over 3000 riders for a memorable and challenging weekend ride from the Denver area to Ft. Collins and back. The Great-West Life Bike MS, Colorado's Ride 2009 Presented by Sam's Club is hosted by the Colorado Chapter of the National MS Society and proceeds from the event go towards freeing the world of MS.

Why I Ride

I've registered for the Colorado Bike MS ride to fulfill a personal challenge, and also help the National MS Society fund research, advocate for change, and help people with MS and their families lead powerful lives. I believe in the work they do and want to be part of it.

Multiple Sclerosis affects people in the prime of their lives, between the ages of 20 and 50. Every hour someone is newly diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. More than 2.5 million people worldwide live with this unpredictable disease. Having multiple sclerosis means that you may suddenly have blurry vision, 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 for everyone - the only certainty is that it will affect yet another person every hour of every day.

I will ride 150 miles in just two days to MAKE MY MARK and do my part to make a difference in the lives of those living with MS.

Let's Move Forward Together

Currently there is no cure for MS. The money that is raised at this event and others like it will be used to find the cause, treatment, and ultimately the cure of multiple sclerosis. The money is also used to provide education, information, direct financial aid, and scholarships to individuals and families living with MS. By sponsoring me you too will MAKE YOUR MARK in this pursuit.

Please join me in the movement to do something about multiple sclerosis now with your donation.
