The Bike MS Ride: Raising Money and Awareness for MS
I recently participated in the 175-mile Bike MS Ride. It was a terrific ride over two days on Whidbey Island and in the La-Conner-Skagit-Bellingham area.
My personal goal was to raise $1,000 for the event, which I surpassed with a total of $1,135. My cycling team, the Columbia Athletic Club, consisting of 95 riders, raised $48,000.00. In total, as of today, the Washington MS Ride has raised almost $1,600,000.00 for the National MS Society.
Every hour of every day, someone is diagnosed with MS. The National Multiple Sclerosis Society is committed to building a movement by and for people with MS that will move us closer to a world free of this disease. If you would like more information about the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, how proceeds from the Bike MS Ride are used, or the other ways you can get involved to create a world free of MS, please visit www.MSwashington.org.
