LAS VEGAS (BRAIN) — The National Multiple Sclerosis Society is partnering with Interbike to present Bike MS: Las Vegas on Saturday, Sept. 19.
Bike MS participants who who pay the registration fee and meet the $100 fundraising requirement will also receive a complimentary entry to Interbike's Customer Appreciation Day on Friday, Sept. 18 at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center.
"MS has touched so many of us through friends and family, that when the MS Society approached us about supporting a ride in and around Interbike, we just knew we had to get involved," said Pat Hus, the vice president of Interbike. "Combining our Customer Appreciation Day, the entire bike industry and this great ride makes for a great weekend of cycling, and I hope we're able to make a significant impact in the battle against this horrible disease."
Participants will choose between 30 and 50 mile route options, both offering spectacular views of Las Vegas. To participate in Bike MS: Las Vegas, each rider agrees to raise a minimum of $100 to support life-changing programs and services, and to fund cutting-edge research to stop progression, restore function, and end MS forever.
"We are very excited to partner with Interbike to bring Bike MS back to the Las Vegas community," said Julie Kaufer, Chapter President of the Southern California & Nevada Chapter. "This is a wonderful way for people to experience all that Interbike has to offer while raising money and awareness for a cause that impacts many people in our local communities."
Riders can sign up as individuals or form a team. Registration is available online at bikeMSlasvegas.org.
