I love that this bike ride has become a family tradition and a family reunion!  Derek rode on Friday with a bunch of buddies.  The first year Derek rode on Friday by himself, but each year has picked up more riders who take off work for the morning and ride the first leg of the MS 150 with him.

My Dad and my Aunt Lisa all came to Dallas to participate. 

For our family it's personal.  Multiple Sclerosis has touched both sides of our family.

Each year these bikers raise money to fund research and help for MS patients.

They ride for Verdi (Derek's dad).

They ride for Brooke (my cousin), who drove up from Austin with her husband and son to cheer them on and support the cause.

They ride for friends…like Rod Moffitt and Del Lott and Sabrina Crawford (our neighbor) and Kristan Miller's mom and the list goes on…

We love these people.  We hate the disease.  It feels good to fight it in this small way.
