Hi everyone! In June, I signed up to participate in the National MS Society's Bike MS event, which occurred this past weekend near the coast in New Bern, NC. I'm new to cycling (just started in late spring), so I was very excited to contribute to a great cause and to participate in such a challenging event.
I pledged to ride at 75 miles on Day One and another 30 miles on Day Two. I ended up riding a "century" on Day One, one hundred miles in low 90's temperatures and high humidity, and 30 more miles the next day. It was grueling at times, but completely worth it. A great experience, and I'm already looking forward to next year and more miles!
We had a wonderful team of 70 riders from my company's NC office. A truly great group of people.
The goal of this year's tour was to raise $1.6 million for MS research, programs, services, and advocacy for the 4,300 people living with MS in Eastern North Carolina. Thanks to all of you who joined me in supporting this great cause by making a contribution toward my fundraising efforts.
