Hello All.

On April 30th my wife and I are going to be riding our tandem and will be joining thousands of other cyclists riding to help end the devastating effects of multiple sclerosis in the Top Hat Classic held in Pleasanton, Calif. By making a pledge on my behalf, you are supporting research and local services to those affected with this unpredictable disease.

MS is a crippling disease that affects the central nervous system. Some symptoms of MS may include loss of balance, impaired vision and hearing, fatigue, muscle weakness and, in some, paralysis. Even simple everyday living skills become increasingly difficult. Everyone diagnosed with MS is affected differently by these symptoms and there is no known cure. But, with your help we can do a lot to help find that cure and to touch the lives of so many that are affected by MS! This year's tour is more personal because one of my wifes close friends was diagnosed with MS a few months ago.

My goal is to raise at least $100.00 this year. Please help me reach that goal with your pledge. Any amount you feel comfortable with, even $1.00, will help! And, as always your donation is tax deductible.

You may donate to my account by following this link and under the sponsor a rider please put in this information: Hendricks, Michael (No Team Name) California

Thank you in advance for your support and please help spread the word, we need all the help we can get!

Sincerely,
Michael and Jennifer Hendricks

I am not upset that you posted this. My wife has MS and we have ridden in the local MS tour for the last 5 years this year will be 6. We switched to a tandem last year because my wife was having trouble keeping up on the single bike because of her symptoms ie balance
My only question with this post is your goal. Is that a typo or have you set your goal extremely low. We have to raise $200.00 to qualify to ride for MS here.

I'm glad someone knows all about these rides and it's people like us that keeps hope for others. I set my goal at $100 because it's what we need to qualify to ride but also sometimes (I've noticed) that when you do ask for pledges online that people are hesitant because of identity fraud to give their information. People can always give more if they want and we also give a personal pledge. I'm also doing the pledges here at work.
