Bike MS: BB&T Tour to Tanglewood 2009
Today I’m writing about a cause that’s important to me and a cause that I know you will want to support. I have decided to join in the fight against multiple sclerosis (MS) by cycling in Bike MS: BB&T Tour to Tanglewood, and I’m asking you to join me in this important fight by sponsoring me.
The National MS Society mobilizes people and resources to drive research for a cure and to address the challenges of everyone affected by MS. Every hour someone is diagnosed with MS. Currently there is no cure.
The progress, severity and specific symptoms of MS in any one person cannot yet be predicted, but advances in research and treatment are moving us closer to a world free of MS. Most people with MS are diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 50, with more than twice as many women as men being diagnosed with the disease. MS affects more than 400,000 people in the U.S., and 2.5 million worldwide. Of those, 2,300 live in central North Carolina. That’s why I’m riding in the Bike MS: BB&T Tour to Tanglewood and I’m asking you to help me make a difference.
You can help me reach my fundraising goal by sponsoring me. It’s easy. Just click this link and then click the donate button to make a donation.
Your support will mean so much to me and the over 400,000 Americans living with MS. Can I count on your help?
