On Sept. 12th and 13TH I will ride again for the 7th straight year in the MS Bike Ride in New Bern North Carolina.
Please see the information below describing the event and I ask you for your support in my endeavor.
This letter has valuable links to learn more about the disease as well as a secure donation site. This year due to our family schedule I will be riding only the second day of the event but I still plan on riding the 100 miles as in years past. I know you have many options for your charitable donations and I thank you for considering this worthy cause. Training is well under way and I look forward to getting back down there for what has become an annual event for me.
Please note that if you do send a check to my house the address is listed below and checks made out to the National MS Society must be in my hands before the 11th so I can bring them to New Bern when I register.
My best for the close of summer and thanks again for considering this charitable event.

Dear Friends and Family,
I recently signed up to participate in the National MS Society's Bike MS event in September. l am very excited to be contributing to a great cause and participating in such a challenging event. The goal of this year's Bike MS is to raise $1.7 million for MS research, programs, services, and advocacy for the 4,600 people living with MS here in eastern North Carolina. I would like for you to join me in supporting this great cause by making a contribution toward my fundraising efforts.
Every hour in the United States, someone is newly diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, an unpredictable, often disabling disease of the central nervous system. Symptoms range from numbness and tingling to blindness and paralysis. The progress, severity, and specific symptoms of MS in any one person cannot yet be predicted, but advances in research and treatment are moving us closer to a world free of MS. Most people with MS are diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 50, with more than twice as many women as men being diagnosed with the disease. MS affects more than 400,000 people in the US and 2.5 million worldwide.
I believe in the work that the National MS Society is doing to fight this disease and hope that you will join me in supporting them. Thanks in advance for your generosity and willingness to join the movement to create a world free of MS.
Sincerely,
Edward Frantz
