About this Fundraiser
I'm going fundracin' for ms research at Ride the Rockies from June 14-20! Will you help me bring encouragement to the world of MS and beyond?
My Race
Ride the Rockies.
My Story
I have been running marathons and doing triathlons for the last 14 years. I have been involved in many charity running/triathlons over these years. Once my sister was diagnosed with MS I decided it was time to begin doing events to raise money for research to cure this disease. I rode in the MS 150 for 2yrs before becoming involved with Team Endurance for MS. A few years ago Scott Rampy founded the Rampy MS Research Foundation and from that Team Endurance was formed. Last year we all participated in the Kansas Half Ironman. This year I decided I wanted another challenge so I have signed up for Ride The Rockies it is a 7day, 470 mile, 35,000ft elevation climb bike ride through the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. !

About the 2015 Team Endurance for MS
People with MS endure and encourage us onward, despite circumstances. It is our aim that we capture that spirit and share the encouragement forward through participating in endurance events. No matter what brings us to the starting line, we cheer each other to the finish line - in sport, in health and in life.
How It Works
Team Endurance for MS is an endurance sports team organized by the Rampy MS Research Foundation. When you join the team, you commit to a fundraising minimum - $350 for shorter distances and $750 for longer ones. Upon joining, we connect you with fellow team members and help equip you with fundraising tips and tools. Oh ya, we also hook you up with some cool swag!
