Why I Ride

Multiple sclerosis is a progressive neurological disorder that affects people in many different ways. It could be paralysis one day, loss of vision the next or impaired memory the day after that.

I ride in honor of someone who is very special to me. I ride in hopes of making just one small difference toward research and a cure in his life.
At first, riding 176 miles on a bicycle is overwhelming but it's nothing compared to living with this disease every day of your life. I'm so grateful to the MS Society for the work they do. The impact is felt not only in my world but in the lives of so many others. I appreciate any help you can offer to help people with MS and their families lead powerful lives.

Thank you and God Bless You!

Let’s Move Forward Together

The Society’s chapters organize 100 Bike MS events nationwide. The BP MS 150 ride is the largest non-profit event of its kind in North America with 13,000 cyclists, 3,000 volunteers and countless supporters and spectators. They’re great fun and the funds they raise go toward research aimed at treating and eventually curing MS. They also provide education, information, direct financial aid and scholarships to individuals and families living with MS.

I’m helping the National MS Society move forward toward a world without MS.

Please join me!

Why I Ride

It is time once again to ride for MS!!  Please donate what you can for this great cause.

I will be riding my bicycle again from Houston to Austin. This will be my 18th MS 150 ride. This two-day ride will help raise money in the race to find a cure for multiple sclerosis.

My 14 year old daughter Sarah will be riding with me on our tandem bicycle; this will be our 4th MS 150 together.

I've registered for the BP MS 150 to fulfill a personal challenge, and also to 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.
