Multiple Sclerosis Society Tour de Farms

Posted on March 20, 2007

Laura and I have decided to join up with Team CDW (Laura recently took a new job with CDW) and ride the 2007 Multiple Sclerosis Society Tour de Farms that takes place on June 23 and 24 of this year. We thought that this would be a good chance to get out on the bikes and explore some more of Illinois (which she and I have been eager to do) and also help to raise money for a great cause in the process.

I have had a number of folks with MS touch my life. Most notable of those was my college calculus professor. What always struck me about her was that despite having MS and having to struggle so much just to teach she always had a smile on her face. She was one of the kindest and most helpful people I have ever met and was definitely one of the best teachers I have ever had.

That said I would like you to invite you all to help me reach my goal of raising $500 to help fight MS. You can donate via the web at my personal Tour de Farms page (just click “Support Eric!” when you get there). As always any help you can give would be most appreciated by me and by the 20,000 people in Illinois and 400,000 people across the US who live with MS every day. Oh, and if you like Laura better (honestly, who doesn’t - she is my better half after all) and want to donate toward her goal please check out her personal Tour de Farms page.
