No MS’n Around is our 2011 #7 overall fundraising team AND our #1 friends and family team. This team started out under a different team name in 2009 (Team Fiore) raising $2,470 in their first year.

Led by team captain Steven Radoslovich, the team changed their name to No MS’n Around and was ready to kick things up a notch in 2010. In just their second year alone, they set am ambitious goal of $35,000. The team exceeded their goal by raising more than $38,000 and Steven became our #1 individual top fundraiser.

#9: Team in Motion
This National MS Society staff team has participated in Bike MS since 2007. Since their inaugural year, they have raised over $200,000.  Team in Motion is traditionally made up of staff from our chapter, but as an open team anyone can join.

With an average of 40 members per year, this team is a well-oiled machine.  In 2011, Team in Motion was the number nine team raising just over $30,000! They were also the Divison III winners.

We encourage everyone to be dedicated to this cause and what better way to show our own support than to practice what we preach?

Blue Ribbon Restaurants/Naked Nuggets has been riding with Bike MS since 2009.  In that time they have had an average of 135 members per year, and raised an average of $40,000 ..  Ken Bromberg has led this team every year and comes all the way from Colorado to ride with us.

We are appreciative for this team’s hard work in recruitment and fundraising.  Since their start in 2009 this team has raised over $120,000 toward our mission to end MS. We know leading a team is no easy task, especially a team this large. 

 

We appreciate all of our team captains and the hard work that you all do every day to move us toward our mission of creating a world free of MS!
