Why do we ride?
Multiple sclerosis is a chronic, often disabling disease of the central nervous system. The symptoms include blurred or double vision, numbness or tingling in the limbs and can become as severe as paralysis or total loss of vision. Diagnosis usually occurs between the ages of 15 and 50, but the unpredictable physical and emotional effects are life-long. We ride for those who cannot. We ride to find a cure. We ride to create a world free of multiple sclerosis.
