    Raising Money for Multiple Sclerosis

    Hey VX Fam..

    I'm registered for a charity cycling event in the beginning of October. It is a bike ride from Philadelphia, PA to Ocean City. I will be doing the 75 mile/1 Day option, riding Saturday October 3rd.

    The event is to raise money for the National MS Society. My goal is to raise $300. My team's goal is 75,000. Any donations are greatly appreciated, even donations of your time, you can sign up to be a volunteer for the event as well. The money raised will go to the 11,000 families in the area affected by MS

    You can support me at
    http://bikepae.nationalmssociety.org...al&fr_id=10329

    You can find more info about the event at

    thanks guys!

    Way to go etlsport. I have done numerous rides for MS as my cousin suffers from this disease. It is truley one of the worst things to watch someone deteriorate from MS. Good luck on the ride and to your team to make their goal!

    Way to go etlsport! As someone who knows this insidious disease all too well for the past 15 yrs, (In case anyone wondered why I always had a hiking pole with me in Moab.....) I'm always happy to see such support! This is why I love my VX so much...a) I can get in it 'cuz it's lower than big SUVs, and b) it gives me fun & freedom that my legs can't give me anymore!

    Ride etl ride!

    Way to go etlsport!! Our dealership, Land Rover Miramar, has been the main sponsor since 2006 for our MS Bike ride in Southern California. The MS Society Pacific South Coast Chapter organizes ours and happens on Oct.10-11, 2009. www.biketofinishms.com
    It is a great cause and we enjoy the event every year!!

    I need to raise money too but you beat me to the punch. I wish you the best and thanks for riding for the cause!!!

    Hey guys & gals...
    The VX.info crew came through once again! Nice to see (once again) what stellar kinds of folks are here on VehiCROSS.info. Way to go, and etlsport!
    The only thing we have to fear is fear itself... and zombies.

    Thanks guys! i did reach my goal! the VX.info crew was responsible for over half of the total donations so far you guys and gals are awesome, a huge thank you to everyone who has donated and to the person who kept bumping this thread back to the top for me

    I'm still expecting a donation from our sponsor to match what was donated before the 14th

    if you are just seeing this, its not too late to donate either, they will be accepted up until "race" day in october

    ill definitely keep you guys updated on how everything goes thanks again!
