Bike MS: Windsor
Hundreds of Cyclists Will Ride Toward a World Free of MS at 36th Annual Bike MS: Windsor
More than 360 cyclists are expected to raise $234,250 to help people affected by MS at the 36th Annual Bike MS: Windsor on June 4.
Bike MS, hosted by the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, is the premier fundraising cycling series in the U.S. for anyone seeking a personal challenge, an amazing experience, and a world free of multiple sclerosis. Each year, Bike MS attracts nearly 100,000 participants nationwide in more than 80 rides. To date, Bike MS cyclists, volunteers, sponsors and donors have raised more than $1 billion so people affected by MS can live their best lives as we stop MS in its tracks, restore what's been lost, and end MS forever.
Bike MS includes people living with MS, their friends, families and neighbors, as well as corporate teams and individuals who are driven to support critical MS research and life-changing services for people living with MS. People living with MS can also participate in “I Ride with MS,” a special program recognizing Bike MS cyclists living with the disease.
