Dear friends and supporters,

In 2008, my life took an unexpected turn. My wife was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS), and the news hit us hard. It was a defining moment, a time when I realized I had to do something to make a difference. That year, I embarked on my first Bike MS event in Missouri, riding 65 miles on a $200 Walmart mountain bike. I had never participated in a cycling event before, but I was determined to bring awareness and support to a cause that had become deeply personal.

As I pedaled along those first miles, I realized that the challenge I had taken on was about so much more than just a bike ride. It was about my commitment to my wife, to every person living with MS, and to the hope of a world free from this disease. I felt a sense of camaraderie with every rider I met along the way, each of us propelled by a shared purpose.

Since then, my commitment has only grown. I have ridden in the Bike MS Deception Pass event in Mount Vernon, WA in both 2021 and 2022, taking on the grueling 100-mile option. Every year, I continue to ride because I believe that together, we can change the course of this disease.

Please join me in supporting this important cause. Your contribution will go a long way in helping those affected by MS and bringing us closer to a cure. Let's make a tangible impact in the lives of those who, like my wife, bravely face the daily challenges of living with MS.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
