| THE OVERNIGHT CELEBRATION OF THE WALL OF HOPE |
|
Help us create a work of art and hope at the Overnight Celebration. It will be a joining of life and love as we learn about the faces of MS that motivate and inspire the participants of the MS Bay to Bay Bike Tour. Bring your personal photos, love notes, art - whatever inspires you - and together we will create a wall of your stories. You can bring these items that night, give them to the MS Bike Tour staff at Rider Check-In or mail them directly to our office and we will post your items on the wall.

| THE VIRTUAL WALL OF HOPE |
|
Welcome to the National MS Society, Pacific South Coast Chapter’s Virtual Wall of Hope. The Wall of Hope is a source of support, encouragement and hope to people living with MS and their loved ones. Everyone is encouraged to help decorate the Wall of Hope. To share your message of hope, please email Kelly Kerins.
As the Wall fills up, it will remind us all why we are riding and send a loving message to those who need our support the most.

I ride so that I will always end my phone calls with Bess
smiling because I heard
her say, “I haven’t had any
more episodes.”

I have two sisters with MS -- Danielle and Melissa. One is 27, the other 34. With all the fundraising efforts, one day there will be a cure. My prayer is that it will be before their disease becomes debilitating to either of them! My 11-year old son, Joshua, and I believe that we can make a difference, have fun, raise $$ and awareness... a win-win all around!!

I ride for my Sister, Deborah. She is like Rhoda - fun, vivacious, and courageous!

I ride for my wife Roxanne. She is a courageous mother, wife & friend, who has to deal with MS on a daily basis. I ride with the hope that the cure will be found in our lifetime. I ride because I see what Roxanne goes through every day, and I feel so helpless. This is my way of fighting back against this devastating disease. I ride because I can.

After doing my first MS 150 bike tour 20 years ago, (age 13), I knew that I would continue to ride for those who could not ride for themselves. And in some cases, unable to even walk for themselves. As a hairstylist, I
meet all kinds of people and hear all kinds of stories in my chair. But in 2005, I was able to put a face and a name to the awful effects of Multiple Sclerosis. And this year, I ride for all those effected by MS, and for my dear friend Linda. She is very excited that I am doing this ride, and hope that she can be at the finish line! You're a
ROCK STAR Linda!!!
