Raising Money for Multiple Sclerosis

[etlsport]

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

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!:thumbup:

Way to go etlsport! :clap: 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!:thumbup:

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!!!

we made it! left about 6.15am.. arrived in ocean city nj a little after noon.. it was a much tougher ride than i was anticipating.. the was a rest stop at the 45 mile mark and i was hurting pulling into there.. but a banana and lots of streching later i was ready to go and made the rest of the trip. one of the women in our group had 4 flat tires! luckily we were prepared for them all so we were back on the road in no time

a big thank you to all who donated and sent well wishes my team raised over $45,000.. the event total raised well over $4 million
