As some of you know, my wife and I recently rode in the American Cancer Society Bike-a-thon back in July.  It was my first event and I even had to go out and buy a new bike.  It was tough since I only had about 2 weeks to train before the ~60 mile ride.  I am happy to say though that we made it and raised money for a great cause.  So far, Team Lockheed has earned over $200,000!!   

Now it's time to put that bike to use again!  Coming in September is the Multiple Sclerosis City to Shore ride.  It's a 2 day event, 75 miles each way from Cherry Hill, NJ to Ocean City, NJ down at the shore.  My wife and I have joined up with Team Lockheed Martin again along with a couple of our neighbors.

If you will be in the Delaware Valley Region during the last weekend of September and interested in riding, let me know.  If you join with us you can receive a discount on the registration fee. 

If you're not riding...WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT!  Below is some information on MS and what happens with the funds raised.  If you're interested in sponsoring us, your financial support would be greatly appreciated.  You can make a donation online

Here is information on Multiple Sclerosis:

Every hour of every day another person receives the life changing diagnosis of multiple sclerosis. MS is a chronic disease of the central nervous system with no known cause or cure. Symptoms may include numbness, fatigue, paralysis or loss of vision.

For more than 50 years, the Greater Delaware Valley Chapter of the National MS Society has been at the forefront of providing help and hope through promising research. In fact, the Society has provided more than $500 million for research and is committed to raising an additional $32 million by 2010.

In addition to supporting ground breaking research, the money you raise allows people with MS to live more independently by providing:

• Information & Resource Center
• Home Care
• Physical/Occupational Therapy Programs
• Care Management
• Transportation
• Medical Equipment
• Personal Care Supplies
• Financial Assistance
• Employment Services

These services that empower people with MS would not be possible without the support of people like you.
