FIRST DAY OF THE RIDE CANCELED DUE TO WEATHER AND RIDING CONDITIONS
Due to unsafe conditions along the Day One route and in La Grange, the National MS Society has decided to cancel the first day of the BP MS 150, Saturday, April 18, 2009. At this time we intend to ride as scheduled on Day 2, Sunday, April 19, from La Grange to Austin. We are currently assessing the logistics and route conditions from La Grange to Austin and will continue to update you as those details become available.
The 2009 registration fee is $100, which helps offset organizational expenses for fuel, supplies and safety support, further ensuring more funds go directly toward MS research and services. The minimum fundraising pledge -- as in 2008 -- is $400. If needed, you can also use convenient transportation services for $35 per rider. Your participation and support will keep us moving forward on the road toward our 2009 fundraising goal of $17 million to help men, women and children with multiple sclerosis.
If you have any questions, I encourage you to contact our Development Team at 713-526-8967 (press 2) or MS150info@MS150.org.
This will be my 6th year to participate in the Lone Star Chapter's bike ride from Houston to Austin. I'm sure it will be as enjoyable as ever and, as always, I will do my part to raise money and fight for the cure of multiple sclerosis.
Please help me in my efforts by donating what you can here online. It's fast, simple, safe and secure.
