Soon September will be upon us and the annual Multiple Sclerosis 5000 will be under way. Our dear friend Paul Pelland [www.longhaulpaul.com] was told the cure for MS was a million miles away after his diagnosis. He thought he would just go get it then since it's only a million miles.
Every fall, he hosts the MS5000 fund raiser. Participants are expected to ride 5000 miles or more in 50 days; for the endurance riding crowd that's about a week of easy riding. But that's not the point; the riders are raising money for MS, through Paul's charity. MS is a cruel disease; it robs people of their bodies as they are in the prime of their lives. My aunt died from the complications of MS.
To do your part to help support my ride, go to :

and select me from the "sponsor a rider" drop down; every dollar counts and will be matched dollar for dollar by me up to $1,000 total.
check back to the blog for updates as I am hoping to make brief, weekly progress tracking on my miles.
