this september i will be riding the MS150 for my 9th year. that would put me at 11 years old when i first rode.
what is it? well you may heard of the national MS society. maybe not.. well its a charity for a disease called multiple sclerosis. if you really want more info, go to www.ms150.org. there is a lot more to the MS society than the bicycle ride, however i only participate in that. basically what you do is raise $250 as an entry fee to a 150-175mile bike tour from cherry hill NJ, to ocean city NJ. its a 2 day event and a lot of fun (tiring too). my entire family participates as well as about 20 other people that have joined us throughout the years.
now after all that you want to know why i am writing this post. im not asking for money (although that would help :)). i want to know if anyone here has or knows someone who has MS. if so, you can reply here or shoot me a pm.
there is this thing called pedal partners. they can match you(the person riding) up with someone that has MS. from there it is up 2 the two ppl to communicate if they wish to do so. talk on the fone, exchange emails, or even meet. its just an extra way to show the people with MS that us, the riders care. that we arent just there to ride a bicycle tour and eat food.
i want to ride for someone that i know this year. i figured it would be a good idea to ask if there is someone here that i can ride for.
EDIT: this will actually my 10th year. so i was 10 yrs old. always rode the entire 150+ miles
First!
Would it be too late to sponsor you for this event?
indeed, will look at my budget and see what i can do as far as donations :thumb:
