Bike MS: City to Shore Ride 2013 - First post

Hello All,

My name is Chas Crits and I’m a member of the planning team for the Bike MS: City to Shore Ride 2013. The ride is taking place on September 28th – 29th which starts in Cherry Hill and ends in Ocean City, NJ. I have done this ride since being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2004 and hope to do it for many years to come. This year my wife and I plan on riding the one day 100 miles option.

Today, there is no cure for multiple sclerosis where many individuals face a lifetime filled with unpredictability. You never know when or how the next flare up will affect you. I consider myself very lucky so far since my symptoms have been pretty much static since first being diagnosed.

The National Multiple Sclerosis Society use funds collected from the Bike MS event to not only support research for a cure, but to also provide programs which address the needs of people living with ms today.
