I am the fire chief in Jasper Alberta, an avid cyclist, an MS Society Ambassador, a volunteer MS Advisory Council Board member, and the volunteer trail coordinator in the Hinton MS Bike Tour, and one of the Top MS Society Fundraiser in CANADA! I am on a mission to help end MS. Over the past nine years I have raised over $350,000.000 through numerous activities and initiatives, such as barbeques, c
ar washes, poker rallies, farmers’ markets, bottle drives, raffles, hockey tournaments, auctions, and, of course cycling, 2800 km solo cycling journey from Wickenburg, Arizona to Jasper, April/May 2013, 3000 km Fat Bike ride from Haida Gwaii to Winnipeg, March/April 2014 and Fatbike from Dawson to Tuktoyaktuk March/April 2015 and a bunch of shorter treks in between.

OBJECTIVES
I have a number of objectives I wish to achieve. First and foremost is to raise funds and awareness for the MS society and a close second is to spread inspiration and hope to all those suffering with MS or any other debilitating neuro disease. Beyond this, I will visit as many Fire Departments and Rotary Clubs as I can, seek out the best micro-brewery IPA , the best bacon cheese burgers, kobasa and porgies, etc. along the roads and trails I travel, and learn as much as possible about the people, local history, and attractions along the way, all while battling the weather and road conditions with a smile on my face. WHY AM I DOING THIS? I am doing this because everyone who lives with Multiple Sclerosis is in dire need of a cure. I am doing this because these people living and dealing with MS require daily support services and resources to ease their pain and struggling. I am doing this because researchers are on the cusp of finding a cure and they need funding to continue. I am doing this to spread hope. And I am doing this because I could use a bit of fresh air and there is nothing more exhilarating than pedaling a fat bike In the winter. WHAT CAN YOU DO? First off, realize that this isn’t all about the money. It is also about raising awareness and hope, but just as important is bringing the problems associated with Multiple Sclerosis to light. I am not only looking for people who will sponsor my cause but also for folks who will help to spread the word. It is extremely important that my journeys can touch as many people as possible, so I ask you to please help me out by circulating my initiative and my information among your contacts. I have had tremendous support in the past and look forward to seeing an end to Multiple Sclerosis, with your help. LIKE and SHARE endms93
