A related disease, within the MS family, has had a personal impact on a family member, my  MOM. She has always been a source of inspiration to me and an inspiration that keeps me moving.  My mom was always active, and although the disease has slowed her down a bit, it hasn't taken her enthusiam and her zest for living. I am riding to honor her and the many others who have been impacted by this diesase....as it is truly a blessing that I am able to get on a bike and ride, something I never want to take for granted.
