2023 Atlantic Coast Bike Tour

On April 10th, I’m boarding a plane for the East Coast to participate in an epic fundraising event, and I need your support! I will be cycling 49 days to cover the entire 2992 miles of the Atlantic Coast, from Key West to Canada, and raise funds for a non profit called Bike the US for MS (Multiple Sclerosis). This ride is very personal to me, as my Aunt Betty, a vibrant, beautiful woman, died of MS a few years ago after years of slow, painful and debilitating deterioration.

For 2210 miles of the ride, I’ll be cycling with a group of cyclists who are also raising funds for MS, and our group will take 4 days off our bikes to perform service for MS patients like my Aunt. I personally plan to raise $5000, but our group hopes to raise a minimum of $150,000 to fund home modification projects and to support research and treatment of MS at clinics and medical centers across the US.

I am dedicating my ride to my Aunt Betty. If you are able, I’m hoping you will pitch in to help me achieve my $5000 goal.
