BOSTON, MA - Bike MS: Cape Cod Getaway 2014 is the largest MS ride in New England. Beginning Saturday, June 28, over 2,000 riders pedal from UMass Boston through the coastal towns of Massachusetts' South Shore to the Cape Cod Canal. The end of day one is at the Massachusetts Maritime Academy in Bourne, where riders are welcomed with music, great food, and maybe even a beer or two.

Early Sunday morning, riders cross the Bourne Bridge and ride across picturesque Cape Cod on their way to Provincetown. After crossing the finish line, riders have a chance to eat, socialize, and clean up before boarding the party boat back to Quincy.

Bike MS is the premier cycling series in the nation! In 2013, more than 100,000 cyclists raised over $80 million to help create a world free of MS. Please join us for Bike MS: Cape Cod Getaway 2014 for the ride of your life! Sign up at http://www.bikeMSgne.org, and start fundraising today!

MS interrupts the flow of information between the brain and body and can stop people from moving forward in their lives. The progress, severity, and specific symptoms of MS in any one person cannot yet be predicted, but advances in research and treatment are moving us closer to a world free of MS. Most people with MS are diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 50, but teenagers and even young children can have the disease. More than twice as many women as men have MS, which affects 2.3 million people worldwide.

The National MS Society helps each person address the challenges of living with MS. In 2013, through its 50-state network of chapters and home office, the Society spent approximately $120 million on programs and services to help people address the challenges of living with MS. At the same time, the Society committed $48 million to fund 380 ongoing research projects and fellowships worldwide.

Early and ongoing treatment with an FDA-approved therapy can make a difference for people with multiple sclerosis. Learn about your options by talking to your health care professional and contacting the National MS Society at http://www.MSnewengland.org, or 1-800-344-4867.
