Bike Ride for MS.

This weekend my wife rides the MS 150.  This ride is to raise awareness and funds to fight the devastating illness of Multiple Sclerosis.  As yet there is no cure for this debilitating disease.

My wife lost her father in 2000 to this disease after battling it for almost 14 years.  Patrick Peterson was a respected aviator, who loved to fly and was an incredible instructor.  He was inducted into the Idaho Aviation Hall of Fame in November of 2004.  

After the illness took his ability to fly, he entered the tower as an Air Traffic Controller until the disease forced him to retire.  My wife rides every year she can to continue the fight against MS.  Physically this is a grueling race for her due to a motorcycle accident in 2002, yet she continues to push through the pain mile after mile.

Below is an excerpt from my wife’s fundraising efforts.  Due to an unforeseen error, her page was only recently activated and we are now scrambling to raise the necessary funds.  Any help would be appreciated.

 

A message from Sarah Spry

Every hour of every day, someone is diagnosed with MS. My dad, Pat Peterson, was part of that statistic. That’s why I registered for the MS Bike Tour, and why I’m asking you to support my fund raising efforts with a tax-deductible donation.

The National Multiple Sclerosis Society is dedicated to ending the devastating effects of MS but they can’t do it without our help. It’s faster and easier than ever to support this cause that’s so important to me. Simply click on the link at the bottom of this message. If you prefer, you can send your contribution to the address listed below.

Any amount, great or small, helps to make a difference in the lives of people with MS. I appreciate your support and look forward to letting you know how I do.

P.S. If you would like more information about the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, how proceeds from the MS Bike Tour are used, or the other ways you can get involved in the fight against MS, please visit nationalmssociety.org.
