We (National MS Society Pacific South Coast Chapter) just held our Bike MS Bay to Bay Tour the second weekend of October. Our tour brings in 2,500 cyclists who raised over $2 million dollars to help provide programs and services to people in the community affected by MS and to contribute funds to the research we need to do to help us create a world free of MS.
I thought our Bike Tour was big until I read this article about the New Jersey Bike Tour that raised over $5 million and their 26 year veteran, an 84 year old woman who rides the entire 150 miles in a dress and high heels on a one speed bike.
What an inspiration she is!
