Pedaling for a cause - Bike MS Ride September 6-7
Completing a 142.8 mile bike ride in two days on the Trail of the Coeur d’ Alenes (September 6 and 7, 72 miles each day) might not sound like your idea of weekend fun. But for Spokane Supervisor Lisa Cushman, CPA, who is participating in the Bike for MS Ride, the cause makes every mile worth it.
“I know two very special people who have Multiple Sclerosis that I care about dearly,” said Lisa, “We live in an area of the United States that is affected by MS more than others, so supporting the research effort is so important.”
Lisa will be riding with her father-in-law, John Cushman, who provided her the needed motivation to get involved.
“I found an outdated brochure about last year’s event and it caught my interest. My father-in-law said he would do it with me this year. Inspiration was born.”
So while Lisa and John are blazing through Idaho, the rest of us can stay on our couch and still make a difference. Lisa hopes to pedal for a fundraising goal of $750; we can help her get there and help those who suffer from MS. If you'd like to contribute or send some encouragement to Lisa, drop her an email. Go Lisa, go!
