Cyclists of all ages and abilities will pedal for a cure in the RONA MS Bike Tour this weekend. They're set to pass through Milton Saturday on their way from the Brampton Fairgrounds to the University of Waterloo for an overnight stay.
Then it's back to Brampton the next day, for a total 190-km roundtrip. The MS Society anticipates that about 550 cyclists will take part, raising more than $45,000for multiple sclerosis. And, there's still time to register for the event. The idea is to raise pledges for the ride -- with cyclists eligible for a variety of prizes based on amount raised.
The proceeds will fund research into the cause and cure of multiple sclerosis, as well as provide services to people with MS, and their families. "People take part in the RONA MS Bike Tours for a variety of reasons," said Yves Savoie, president and chief executive of the MS Society of Canada, and president of the MS Society's Ontario division, in a press release. "It's a great way to get outside on your bike and take in some beautiful scenery while raising funds for a very important cause."
