Hi All,
As many of you know Aaron and I are participating in the National Multiple Sclerosis Society Group Health Bike MS Ride (AKA MS150). Which is a 150 mile bike ride over 2 days in September. This is an event that my parents have been involved with for the last couple of years and have had a lot of fun.
The reasons we are participating in the MS150 Ride is because we want to do something for the people who have been diagnosed - and because we want to do everything to prevent more people from learning what it means to live with this disease. Today, there is no cure for multiple sclerosis, and with diagnosis occurring most frequently between the ages of 20 and 50, many individuals face a lifetime filled with unpredictability. People living in the northwest are at higher risk and women have a higher risk. So I (Keegan) ride for a selfish reason. I fall within all the prime categories for having MS. So I ride for those who are fighting now and for those who may fight in the future.
If you would like to sponsor us in our effort please feel free to do by going to our pledge pages at:
Keegan's Pledge page
Aaron's Pledge Page
Also thanks to everyone who has pledged to us so far!
PS-If anyone would like to join the ride, please feel free. You can either contact us or go to the MS150 Ride page directly: http://bikewas.nationalmssociety.org/site/PageServer?pagename=BIKE_WAS_homepage
