After about 95 miles-- my day one finish in 2010 :)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\n

This weekend I’ll be cycling in my 5th BP MS 150,<\/a> a two-day, 180-mile ride from Houston to Austin to help raise funds and awareness for the battle against Multiple Sclerosis.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, as I was finishing up my training, I had to face a lot of wind against me, but the wind I fought in 3 hours of cycling was nothing like the torrent those with MS suffer, not knowing what will happen next and not understanding why their bodies don’t function as they used to.<\/p>\n

I realize each of us has our own organizations we support. If you would consider adding the MS Society to that list, or supporting me again this year, I know your contribution will be well spent and greatly appreciated by those battling Multiple Sclerosis. Progress has been made… and you can help that progress continue to make life better for others.<\/p>\n

To find out more about Multiple Sclerosis or to contribute, please click over to my MS 150 donation page<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Every single donation makes a difference, whether it is $5 or $5,000.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Also, I covet your prayers. My own health threw me a curveball earlier this year<\/a> which caused my training (and fundraising, as I wondered whether I would be able to ride myself) to get a very late start. If you would make a note to pray for me this week as I mentally prepare and this Saturday as I ride, I would tremendously appreciate your support that way. And I if you have any prayer requests I can pray for you, please tell me about them and I would be honored to pray for you.<\/p>\n

Thanks for whatever you can do. And those battling MS thank you, too.<\/strong><\/p>\n
