MS150

We're counting down to the weekend of April 16-17 for the MS150, when we're riding our bikes from Houston to Austin to raise money for multiple sclerosis treatment. Please donate!

Paul and I each have to raise at least $450 for the ride. I've lost track of how many years we've ridden (we missed last year, too busy I think).

Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease in which a person's own body attacks its myelin. Your neurons have myelin on them to make the signals pass faster, so your movements are purposeful and efficient. Without myelin, you'd take awhile to move a body part, if you could move it at all. So people with MS have difficulty with their movement, and it generally worsens over time. There's no cure yet but the money raised for these big events almost all goes towards the costs of cures and treatments. Very little goes to "overhead" associated with the events. So when you donate, you'll know it's for a good cause directly.

We ride because it gives us a personal challenge while donating to a good cause too. It's a win-win.

And this year because of that spin class, ain't no hill gonna take me down! HAHAHAHA!
