You kind of have to understand that being a cycling forum there are a lot of people doing MS rides. I am considering posting a link to where people can donate to in my signature thingy for the MS ride I am doing, you might want to consider that. I have raised 1500 the last two years I have done the ride. Glad to hear you are doing the ride, my mom has MS and its pretty emotional each year seeing her at the finish line. Best of luck to you!
