Bike MS: Iowa Ride 2018

Updated: Jun 3, 2018

It would be crazy of me not to do a post about the MS bike ride I am doing at the end of the month, so here goes!


On June 23rd I, and friends and family, will be riding in a bike ride in Ankeny IA to raise funds for MS Research. I have always been someone that wanted to help people, wanted to support people but I also wanted something that I had a connection with that I could really get behind. It wasn't until my diagnosis that I had a direct connection to some of the events and fundraisers that are out there. It sounds crazy but ever since my diagnosis I have felt that God put this in my life so I have something to get behind fully and I plan to do that! The first thing that I am getting into to help MS research is this bike ride.


The bike ride is sponsored by the National MS Society and all the money raised goes to their organization for MS research. They are the leaders in MS research and are getting closer and closer to finding a cure for MS. The team and I are both a little short of our ultimate goal of raising $2,000(personal goal) and $5,000(Team goal) and would be forever grateful if you partnered with us and helped us reach our goals. Below I have the link to our team page where you can read how we got started as a team and I will also have my personal page where you can make a donation.

I plan to do whatever I can to raise funds that will hopefully find the cure to MS and would love for your partnership in this adventure!
