WHAT: Registration Kick-off — Time to dust off the training wheels and gear up for the two-day, 150+ mile Bike MS: Sam’s Club Ride coming up May 5-6, 2012. This year don’t just ride, but make history and sign-up early for the 25th annual fundraising event benefiting the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. Commemorate this anniversary milestone with a $10.25 registration fee valid only on 10/25. Either attend the Bike MS: Sam’s Club awards and kick-off party at Union Station, or register online at bikeMStexas.org on Tuesday, October 25 to receive the special rate (note: registration fees increase incrementally as the ride approaches see site for details). Once registered, each $25 online self-donation received on 10/25 enters cyclists into a drawing for an iPad®2. This event continues to grow in popularity since it originated in 1987, and is one of the fastest growing Bike MS events nationwide. Stay tuned for other exciting Silver Anniversary news, including a new finish line. Follow the event on Facebook: Bike MS: Sam’s Club Ride and/or Twitter: @BikeMS_DFW.
WHO: Calling all fitness enthusiasts, avid cyclists and MS Champions to saddle up and go the distance to achieve a world free of multiple sclerosis in the Silver Anniversary Ride. Goal is for 3,000+ cyclists to register for the event before it rolls out in early May.
WHEN: Tuesday, October 25 (Special $10.25 Silver Anniversary registration rate)
6:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
WHERE: Union Station* (Downtown Dallas)
400 S. Houston St.
Dallas, TX 75202
*Don’t have to attend the actual awards and kick-off party to receive special registration rate. Visit bikeMStexas.org on 10/25 and select Bike MS: Sam’s Club then “click” on Register TODAY.
WHY: Currently, there is no known cause or cure for multiple sclerosis. Bike MS: Sam’s Club is a fun awareness event raising money to support programming and services for persons living with MS, and funds cutting-edge research and clinical drug trials at UT Southwestern Medical Center. Last year’s ride generated nearly $2 million through the fundraising efforts of participating cyclists and corporate sponsorships, but there is still more ground to cover.
