This Chronicle article reports on the 20th anniversary taking place this weekend of the two-day, Houston to Austin, 186 mile bicycle excursion known in these parts as the “MS 150.”
In the first event 20 years ago, 237 riders braved the ride and raised $117,000 for research into Multiple Sclerosis. Incredibly, the event has now grown to over 13,000 riders who will raise about $10 million, which is the largest event by far of this type of event organized by the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. Check out the MS 150 website, which allows you to donate money in the name of any of the riders in the event.
