Bike MS

[Allan]

All,

A few of you had mentioned an interest in the Bike MS ride I am participating in this spring from Houston to Austin, and asked that I give you more information.  The following is an update I sent to other supporters I know.  If interested, please read on. 

Thanks,

Allan

Hi All,

As I continue preparation for the upcoming 2014 MS 150 early this spring, I am humbled by the outpouring of support received thus far, both inspirationally and monetarily.

Over the past couple of months, many of you have shared encouraging testimonials of how MS has directly impacted your life and/or those dearest to you and expressed heartfelt thoughts of appreciation.  It is for this very reason I ride – to spread hope and optimism towards finding a cure. 

I am also pleased to say, that thanks to donors like you, we are off to a brisk pace at 19% of our goal.  Thanks again.  If you have not yet had an opportunity to give, please consider doing so now.  Whether your gift is the pennies left over in your pocket at the end of a day or the cost of a single cup of coffee per day, what matters more to me is that you support in whatever way works best for you. 

Please also encourage your friends and family members to join in as well.  Forward this message onto them, and proclaim your support!  I would love to hear from you and them.

For those among you unfamiliar with the MS 150, this is a two-day ride in early spring between Houston and Austin where 14,000 bicyclists join forces and commit to increasing consciousness about the pervasiveness of multiple sclerosis and to raise funds towards eradicating its existence.  This one bike ride is among 100 bike rides nationwide committed towards one unified purpose: A World Free of MS.

Below are some links to assist you making an informed decision.

And again, thanks for your support!

Sincerely,

Allan
