Ed,

Sorry, I had forgotten to send you an email on the BikeMS Tour as you were not on my list.  Thanks for folIowing up on it.  I have at least a month after the ride and probably until September to get the funds turned in, so there's still plenty of time. I hope you will consider sponsoring me and you may share this as you like too.  Our team has already raised $76,439 against a $100,000 goal this year to fight Multiple Sclerosis!

It's almost time for the Bike MS tour for 2018, June 23-24.  This will be my 27th year in this amazing event.  We formed Team CONEHEADS 8 years ago, starting with 3 of us, and we have grown to 37 riders this year.  In those 8 years alone we have raised $459,000!  With a goal of $100,000 this year, we are set to pass   half a million dollars  total for the care of those living with Multiple Sclerosis and research to improve lives and end this disease. 

Multiple Sclerosis is a disease of the central nervous system, with Colorado having the highest prevalence in tJeahe US.  It affects 4 times more women than men and often strikes young active people.  It causes loss of strength and motor coordination to the point of paralysis, and can go into remission and then return later.  There is no known cause and no cure, but we are working to change that.  Our team has one rider and 2 spouses with MS so this is a personal battle for our team!

You can reach my personal page  here http://main.nationalmssociety.org/site/TR?fr_id=29876&pg=personal&px=1728670  or you can sponsor by check if you prefer; payable to National MS Society.  Please write me back or drop by with any questions!

I have found that Terumo has a Matching Gift Program, so donations between $25 and $50 are matched 100%.  I can share that with you as well.



Thanks,
Rob


GO CONEHEADS!
