People diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis face challenges that many of us will never understand. Because of this, and in honor of those I know who suffer from it, I have chosen to embrace something that is a challenge for me! Though I spent my childhood on two wheels, I have only just returned to the bike in the last couple years. Further, I have only begun road cycling this spring! When I heard about the National MS Society’s City to Shore event, and the century (100 miles on the bike in 1 day!) that was a part of it, I knew this was the challenge for me.
The suffering I’ll endure on my bike in September pales in comparison to what the average person with MS endures. However, my hope is that I will be able to help in a small way by raising money to help research for a cure. Would you consider supporting me as I ride? I still need to raise around $300, but just $20 would go a very long way to help fight this devastating disease.
