A 30 day motorcycle challenge to benefit people living with Multiple Sclerosis
The Ride & Raise Challenge is a motorcycle challenge you can enter and ride from anywhere.
The Ride & Raise Challenge gives you a reason to ride your motorcycle/bicycle or walk/run as much as you can in 30 days for a great cause.
The challenge can be completed at your discretion and the rules are simple.
Registered riders or walkers/runners will document riding as many miles as they can from June 27th - July 26th while collecting support from family and friends.
Each registered rider will get a Ride & Raise Challenge silicone wrist band we hope you will wear to let your friends and family know what it is you are attempting and why.
Get involved, learn about MS and realize how tough every single day might be for someone with Multiple Sclerosis. Do your part to help find a cure.
This year, if you don't have a motorcycle, you can ride your pedal bike or even walk/run.
Get out of yard work, get your friends to support you, be a hero to your family, all while riding your bike (motor or pedal) or walking/running lots of great miles!
