Trivia Anyone?

This is how I usually look when I have to answer a Trivia Question, but I still go to Trivia Nights; three times a year. Why you ask? They are fun! You get a group of friends together, everyone brings their favorite snack, wine, beverages and have a lot of fun trying to figure out the answer to questions about anything and everything. By the end of the evening you have eaten way too much, maybe drank a little too much and have laughed at how much you do or don't know.

So why should you come to our Trivia Night? It's a great cause, we will have awesome prizes, really great silent auction baskets, the above mentioned; it's really fun and we plan on making it a very entertaining night. Think about it, you could go to the movies and spend way more than $20. So, why not use that money for a good cause? Let's help these athletes with great potential do something awesome with their talent.

Many of the team members have already participated in this event in the past. However, with our team will will have major support. First we will have a trainer that we give us a week by week training programs to prepare us for the ride. Our group rides will offer opportunities to get you training rides in with friends working towards the same goal. We will also have some special events to help us in the fund raising process. My hope is that we work as hard at raising money for the cause as we do with our training.

The number of people living with multiple sclerosis increases every hour of every day. This astonishing rate is not going to diminish, nor will it stop, until we've found a cure. Research has made some incredible advances recently, but the world can still only offer disease management drugs and therapies to the 400,000 people living with MS in America.We've formed a team for the MS Bike Tour because we know that riding 150 miles is nowhere near as difficult as confronting a lifetime with multiple sclerosis. The National Multiple Sclerosis Society gives us all reason to hope, though. In addition to supporting novel research projects around the globe, they also provide much needed education, programs, and services to everyone who is affected by MS - including the diagnosed, their friends and families, and the healthcare professionals who work with them.Join our team as a cyclist or a volunteer! Make a donation online! Send in a check! Talk to your employer about becoming a sponsor of the MS Bike Tour! There are so many ways to make a difference in the fight against MS, and it all begins right here.
