I have a friend who once seemed invincible, was able to light up a room with their laughter, and could make you believe anything was possible. But MS, with its relentless unpredictability, slowly began to chip away at the life they once knew. There were days they couldn’t walk without pain, moments when simple tasks became monumental challenges. Watching them navigate this journey with courage and grace inspired me more than I can put into words.

​

I realized that while I couldn’t take away their pain, I could do something to support them and the millions of others living with MS. So, I decided to take on this 2,000-mile journey—a physical and emotional challenge that pales in comparison to the daily battles faced by those with MS. Every pedal stroke is a symbol of solidarity, a reminder that they are not alone.

​

The road ahead is daunting. There will be steep climbs, blistering heat, and moments of doubt. But for every mile I ride, I think of the people who can’t—those whose legs no longer carry them where they want to go, those who’ve lost the freedom to do something as simple as riding a bike. Their strength fuels my determination.

​

This ride isn’t just about raising money; it’s about raising awareness. It’s about telling the world that MS is more than just letters. It’s a life-altering condition that demands our attention and action. With your help, the funds I raise will go toward research, support services, and advocacy efforts—each dollar bringing us closer to a cure and a future where MS no longer exists.  Please donate whatever you can.
