Hey guys!!
While I don't have a lot of time to explain my entire story as to why I do this ride, I'll give you a bit of information. My grandfather died of MS (Multiple Sclerosis). It was a tragic blow to everyone - his life was righteous and pure and wanted nothing less than pure happiness for everyone in the world. He was a family man, a musician, a business owner (who would go right up to your table and chat with you), and a man that forever smiled. He was diagnosed and then he became bed ridden. He couldn't lift his hands to hold me, my baby brother that was born earlier that year, his oldest grandson, his wife, or his daughters. He just smiled. And then 2 days before Christmas, about 2 weeks after his 79th birthday, he passed away. Since last year, I decided to carry his legacy and promise to find a cure for him, and for all of those other whom I know have MS, and for the families of those whom I do not know that do.
If you are reading this and a loved one has or had MS, I'm doing this for you.
However, I can't do this alone. Please sponsor me - even the smallest amount helps finding the answer. This event is a 2 day tour, about 75 miles a day, from Southampton, LI to Shelter Island, then Orient Point back to Southampton. This ride is incredible. Please, donate and make a difference. Visit www.nationalmssociety.org/goto/heathert2008 - or better yet, join my team, the Cycle_Logical Edge! Thank you for your very valuable time and hope to see you on the wheels!
Love always,
Heather
