Paul Negrete to ride in MS 150 from Houston to Austin
Dear Family,
Hello! Once again, I've registered for the BP MS 150 to fulfill a personal challenge, and also to help the National MS Society fund research, advocate for change and help people with MS and their families lead powerful lives. I believe in the work they do and want to be part of it. Support me in my upcoming ride in the BP MS 150 on April 18-19.
Multiple sclerosis is a progressive neurological disorder that affects people in many different ways. It could be paralysis one day, loss of vision the next or impaired memory the day after that. Living with MS means living with uncertainty. When it comes to MS, only two things are certain: Another American is diagnosed every hour of every day and many people are joining the movement toward a world free of MS including me.
The BP MS 150 ride is the largest non-profit event of its kind in North America with 13,000 cyclists, 3,000 volunteers and countless supporters and spectators. They're great fun and the funds they raise go toward research aimed at treating and eventually curing MS. They also provide education, information, direct financial aid and scholarships to individuals and families living with MS.
The National MS Society believes that moving is not just something you can or can't do, but rather is who you are. This is why they produce events like the BP MS 150 to raise funds for research, as well as comprehensive programs and services for people with MS moving closer to a world free of MS.
When you support the BP MS 150, you become a part of the powerful movement that will end MS forever.

Paul Negrete
