Bike MS 2014 Raises $17,000
2014 Bike MS Colorado was an incredible and awe-inspiring event complete with sore muscles, a couple of flat tires, and plenty of Gatorade. We are proud to report that on June 28th & 29th, Team Higgins & DeYoung had 30 riders jump on their bikes to pedal in support of multiple sclerosis research. Our team, along with generous donations from our corporate sponsors, (First Trust Investments, Invesco, Prost Brewing Company, The Colorado Rockies, Masterson & Hall, and Ridley, McGreevy, & Wincour P.C.) was able to raise over $17k for this very worthy cause. It was amazing to witness what our team was able to accomplish by coming together in support of this common goal.
This year was particularly special as we rode in memory of Anna Scott. Our dear friend and teammate, Paul Scott, lost his wife, Anna to MS. Anna fought MS for many years and lost her battle a couple months ago. This year we rode to remember and celebrate Anna. We’re also going to be doing a fundraising ride in September called “Anna’s ride”, so please keep an eye out for a mailer about the ride details. We hope you can join us.
If you’d like to get involved next year, just let us know. There are many options to ride and volunteer. The routes are anywhere from 25 to 200 miles, so there is a ride for every ability. We want to thank all of those who joined and/or supported our team this year. See you next year!
