Reagor-Dykes Auto Group an official sponsor of MS event

LUBBOCK The National MS Society on Wednesday announced that Reagor-Dykes Auto Group is the official vehicle sponsor for Bike MS: Cactus & Crude 2014, presented by Apache. Through its commitment, Reagor-Dykes Auto Group joins other national and local partners to support hundreds of Lubbock area cyclists as they raise funds and awareness for multiple sclerosis during the annual, two-day cycling event Saturday and Sunday, July 19-20.

We are excited to be the vehicle sponsor for Bike MS. We want the people in West Texas to know how committed we are to getting involved and making a positive difference in the Lubbock area,said Reagor-Dykes Auto Group owner Bart Reagor. I have always felt that if a business is not making a town a better place to live, then it should never open. We want to make it better!

Bike MS: Cactus & Crude 2014, presented by Apache, kicks off Saturday, July 19 from Midland and travels through the Permian Basin, cruising into Big Spring for an overnight celebration at the South West Collegiate Institute for the Deaf. On Day 2 of the ride, cyclists head to Post to cross the finish line.

Multiple sclerosis, an unpredictable, often disabling disease of the central nervous system, interrupts the flow of information within the brain, and between the brain and body. Symptoms range from numbness and tingling to blindness and paralysis. 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, with at least two to three times more women than men being diagnosed with the disease. MS affects more than 2.3 million worldwide.

The National MS Society serves more than 68,000 Texans affected by multiple sclerosis, including more than 22,000 diagnosed with the disease. The society is dedicated to achieving a world free of MS. Join the movement at http://www.jointhemovment.org.

Early and ongoing treatment with an FDA-approved therapy can make a difference for people with multiple sclerosis. Contact the National MS Society at nationalMSsociety.org or 1-800-344-4867.
