July23rd

Most of you know by now, my mama has MS. She has had it for as long as I can remember and it’s something that has definitely impacted my life immensely. I have raised money before through MS walks, but this year my sister is participating in an event called Bike to Finish MS. It is a 150 mile cycling adventure up and down the Orange and San Diego County coastlines. 150 mile bike ride? That’s nuts! I would love to participate as well, but I don’t think my knee is ready for an 150 mile ride.

My sister has set up her own website donation page and anything you have to donate would mean the world to me. It helps her help MS and truly makes a huge difference in the study of MS. About 30% of the funds raised at the Pacific South Coast Chapter are spent on national and international research projects to find the cause and cure for MS. About 50% of funds go directly to local programs and services to help people currently living with the disease. Fundraising and administrative costs account for the remainder.

The race is in October so we have only a few months to help raise money! Please check out her site to read about my fabulous mom and to donate to her ride :)
