Strap on Your Helmet- It's Time for the MS Bike Ride!

Start to Finish MS: MS Bike Ride with 100- and 150-mile Options for Two-Day Event

Calling all cyclists! Join nearly 1,000 cycling friends for the nation’s premier cycling event. The Ohio Valley Chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society invites you to its 27th Annual MS Bike Ride presented by Kroger Brand, July 7 and 8, 2007. Take a relaxing ride through some of Southwest Ohio’s most beautiful countryside and small towns while helping the National MS Society fund research, services, education and programs for people living with MS.

The 100- or 150-mile ride begins Saturday morning at the Roberts Centre in Wilmington, with an overnight stay and festivities at the University of Dayton on Saturday (side note: the party is the best part!) and returns Sunday to the Roberts Centre for a finish line celebration and Family Fun Fest. Teams (corporate or family and friends) and individuals are encouraged to register.

The MS Bike Ride is the largest organized cycling event in the United States. The first MS 150 Bike Tour began in 1980 in Minnesota. This year over 80,000 cyclists will participate in the MS Bike Ride, an event that takes place in 48 states.

“In 2006, the MS Bike Ride presented by Kroger Brand raised more than $600,000 for people living with multiple sclerosis in the Ohio Valley Chapter area,” said Board of Trustees’ Chairperson Carol Beirne. “The ride not only raises money for MS research and local programs, but it also helps to increase awareness about multiple sclerosis. This is why our chapter is so excited about our 27th annual event.”

Registration for the MS Bike Ride is open to all cyclists now through June 25 online at www.fightMStoday.org and by phone at 513-769-4400. After that, cyclists must register at the event. For more information or to register for the MS Bike Ride presented by Kroger Brand or for information on Ohio Valley Chapter programs and services, call 513-769-4400, 1-800-344-4867 or visit the website at fightMStoday.org

Hi! - I was hoping I could get your help by sharing this with some of your Northern Kentucky friends or posting it here on your blog.

I'm part of a group working on our MBAs with Thomas More and we're conducting research to support an Education Summit scheduled during the fall of 2007. The summit, entitled "Champions for Education: Focus Locally, Compete Globally” is an integral part of a strategic community planning initiative in Northern Kentucky.

We are trying to reach those age 18-24 living in, attending school in, or having recently graduated from a school in Bracken, Carroll, Gallatin, Grant, Owen, Pendleton, Boone, Kenton, and Campbell counties, it is essential that we receive their feedback. We ask that you take 10 minutes to complete an on-line survey at http://www.zoomerang.com/survey.zgi?p=WEB226JLEWZKRZ or forward this email along to those who fit the criteria.

I would really appreciate any help you could provide,

Thank you!
