BikeMS is a series of 100 fundraising cycling events held nationwide to benefit the local chapters of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. Most of the money goes to provide local programs and support for people with MS, the rest goes to support research into cures.
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an unpredictable, often disabling disease of the central nervous system that disrupts the flow of information within the brain, and between the brain and body. The effects are unpredictable, and may include tingling, numbness, loss of coordiantion or muscular control, and loss of vision. While it is currently thought to be an autoimmune disorder, little is understood about the trigger. I do these rides because I know a number of people (friends, co-workers, and family) who are affected by MS.
For each MS Ride below, there is a link shown on the right. All Sponsorships are Tax-deductible donations to the National MS Society - Ohio Buckeye Chapter, from which you will get a receipt for tax purposes.
