MS 150: April 17-18, 2010 from Houston to Austin

The BP MS 150 is a two-day fundraising bike ride from Houston to Austin organized by the National Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Society.  It's the largest non-profit event of its kind in North America with more than 13,000 registered cyclists, 3,000 volunteers, and countless supporters and spectators.  In 2009, the ride raised $17 million for MS research and services for persons living with MS.


Multiple sclerosis is a progressive neurological disorder that affects people in many different ways. It could be paralysis one day, loss of vision the next or impaired memory the day after that. Living with MS means living with uncertainty.

When it comes to MS, only two things are certain:

* Another American is diagnosed every hour of every day.

* Many people are joining the movement toward a world free of MS including the cyclists in the MS150


There is still time to register for the event and complete your training:

If you are not going to ride this year please make a donation to fight MS.  Shape Up Sugar Land board member Thomas Brooks is in training for the event for the second year in a row.  He is over 75% of the way toward his $1650 fundraising goal, but he could use your help to fight MS.  Please donate: http://main.nationalmssociety.org/goto/ThomasWBrooks


Thank you!
