Raising money for Multiple Sclerosis

mobandy78 · 08-25-2010, 02:12 PM

Hi guys! I'm trying to raise money for the Oklahoma Multiple Sclerosis society. Their largest fund-raising event is next month, Sept. 25 & 26. I will be riding my bicycle from Tulsa to Oklahoma City along Historic Route 66! Last year there were 800 cyclists that participated in the event raising just over $500,000!

The ride starts in downtown Tulsa, follows Route 66 to Chandler, where we eat dinner and camp for the night. Then on Sunday, the 26th, we leave Chandler and ride into OKC and finish at the State Capital building. The route is approximately 140 miles which is divided between the two days. We leave at 7:30 each morning and will ride for about 5-6 hours each day.

I'm inviting everyone to participate by helping me raise money for the event and coming out to cheer me on. My goal is to reach $1500 before the ride and I'm currently at $910 as of this morning. I'm almost there!! If you would like to donate, click on the following link to go to my fund-raising page.

I appreciate the help and your support.

Also, the committee does use some motorcyclist to help out on the route as safety personnel. Let me know if you would like to help out and I can put you in contact with the "powers that be" to see what they need.

Good luck on your ride and be safe. I hope you reach your goal as it is for a good cause.

Wish you the best on the fundraiser. It is definitely a good cause. I lost an Aunt to MS several years ago and our young secretary/clerk over here at work died a couple of years ago due to complications from MS. Her 27 yr old daughter informed me early this year that she was diagnosed with this unmerciful disease. Good luck....I hope you double your goal.

Wow, Mitch. I'm sorry to hear about that. It's rare that siblings or family members have MS. It is a very unmerciful disease.

Thank you for the support!
