Join the Fight Against MS | donate A whole new year. A whole new reason to ride. Bike MS for 2011 was a rousing success. While I did fall short of my fund raising goal of $2,500, I did manage to raise a fair amount…some $1,200, if memory serves. For 2012, I would like to meet & exceed 2011's total, and here is why. Because Nicholle & I knew how precious time had become, we decided to start a family sooner rather than later. On January 25, we welcomed into our lives Kai Garreth Seiler, a baby boy with as much spirit & cuteness as that of his mother. Because we are uncertain of how Nicholle's MS will respond, post-pregnancy, it has become even more crucial to fight. There is precious little that I can do to actively engage the actual disease attacking my wife's CNS (read the primer on MS at WebMD), but organizations like the National MS Society rely on fund raising and donations in order to help those with MS by providing information and assistance, as well as funding research. By clicking on the link below, you will be able to make a tax-deductible donation to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society in my fight against MS. While the Kai's entry into the world has changed my racing & training calendars, I will again train for and ride in the Bike MS: Ride to the River on October 13 & 14. You can track all that I do in preparation by following my moves on Suunto's movescount.com. A Suunto t6d wrist computer will help me stay focused on my health & fitness, while logging the miles as I swim, bike, run, row, and lift my way to an incredible event. Join the movement. Fight MS.
