MS is not just an illness—it’s a daily battle for independence, dignity, and hope. Families sacrifice, patients endure, and communities come together. Every mile pedaled and every dollar donated at Bike MS goes directly into research, treatments, and support that transform lives.

For JF, MS has meant over 20 years of fighting through constant vertigo, swallowing issues, heart complications, and endless medical changes. But with the support of her husband, doctors, and the National MS Society, she continues to push forward. She rides and fundraises not for herself, but for future generations—so that children and grandchildren can have treatments that don’t yet exist.

When CH’s mom was diagnosed at just 19, there were no treatments available. Over the years she went from walking to needing a cane, a walker, a wheelchair, and eventually being bedridden. Yet, she lived life to the fullest and inspired her family to do the same. Today, thanks to research funded by events like Bike MS, there are more than 25 medicines that give people with MS a chance to live better lives.
