Lorinda's Bike MS Story

My first MS ride on Saturday September 7^th 2013, started with a drizzling day.  We started our ride at 7:00am and road up to deception pass and across the bridge.  The road to deception pass is steep, narrow, full of debris and tons of traffic.  Every time I was in a treacherous or difficult spot I was thinking of all the people I know who suffer from MS.  I am thankful I had this opportunity to contribute.

The people we met were all fabulous and supportive!  I was especially touched when I was having a hard time getting up a hill and another rider would pass me with words of encouragement. And when Sam lead all six of us to the finish in the last 8 miles at over 17 miles an hour! 

The organizers, volunteers, and our team really looked out for our wellbeing.  From setting the goal to do the ride, training for the ride, riding 60 miles the farthest I have ever ridden and connecting with all of you during the process made the whole experience very rewarding.  I want to thank each and every one of you for supporting me with my ride. Our team raised over 76,000 and that does not include the matching funds.

I am looking forward to doing more and I have already signed up for next year!

Thank you so much it means the world to me! Let’s put an end to this!

Dear Friends and Family,

I have taken on the challenge of riding for MS on September 7th. Last Saturday I rode all the way around Lake Washington up and down the hills for over 50 miles. I have never really trained for anything like this before and I imagine it’s even harder to live with MS.

Dollar by dollar, Bike MS is changing lives. That's why I registered for Bike MS and why I'm asking you to support my fundraising efforts with a tax-deductible donation.


I am dedicating my ride to my Boy Friend Bob Cook who lost his mother to MS when he was a senior in high school. He also lost his wife and the mother of his beautiful children Kimberly and Lisa Renee a few years back from MS. I recently attended my High school reunion and my boyfriend from High school Jay Kroeplin and his father both are suffering from MS.


It just seems to keep entering the lives of people I know and care about. My father in laws wife Carol passed from MS in Cape Cod several years ago and one of our former team mates here at Lorinda’s Kristine Maxwell has MS.


The National Multiple Sclerosis Society is dedicated to creating a world free of MS but they can't do it without our help. It's faster and easier than ever to support this cause. Simply click the link below to visit my page and make an online donation or contact me about making a donation by check.


Your donation supports critical funds to support local programs and cutting-edge research. Your donation puts us closer to realizing our promise to STOP MS in its tracks, RESTORE lost function and END MS forever. Ending MS means no one will receive an MS diagnosis again. Every dollar helps. Every connection matters.


Please support my ride any contribution would truly be appreciated. I chose to join the BP Team with Sam Miller as they match some of our funds! It is a great opportunity to really make a difference.
