Katie MacDonald - Bike the US for MS
I am a little bit late in writing this blog post, but I am super excited to announce that this past October I was accepted to be part of the 2017 Bike the US for MS Self-Contained team!
Since September, my friend Carissa (4K for Cancer alum) and I had been talking about doing a self-contained trip over spring break. We looked into a couple of different locations, but eventually settled on the California coast. This coming March, we will be biking from San Francisco to San Diego over the course of 12 days. Doing a ride self-contained means no support van, no organized rest stops, and no route leaders (aka the incredible people who make everything go smoothly on a supported trip). Carissa and I will be doing all of the planning ourselves, and carrying all of our camping gear on our bikes. Though this makes the trip slightly more challenging for us, it means that even more of the money we raise can go directly to ending MS. Thanks so much to everyone who has already donated! As of this morning, we are 47% funded. Shout out to Nada, Joe, Steven, Grammie Mary, Austin, and Emma for their contributions!
