Bike MS NYC 2021 – Help Us Reach Our Fundraising Goal

October 6, 2021 by Scott Gleason

We are back. Team Guys and Dolls has been participating in Bike MS NYC for two decades now. In the past, we did so in support of my sister-in-law, Diane, who valiantly fought Multiple Sclerosis (MS) for years. Unfortunately, she also fought a battle against COVID last year and lost. So, now we ride to honor her memory. But the good news is that events like this raise much-needed funds to find medication to help treat this debilitating disease. In fact, the medications have been successful enough to warrant advertising on TV. But we need your help to reach our Bike MS NYC 2021 fundraising goal.

The Ride

This ride provides one of the most incredible routes any cyclist could ever experience. For one day a year, some of the streets around Manhattan completely shut down to motorized traffic. The 30-mile route takes you around the outer edge of the City and through Battery Park. NYC landmarks like the Brooklyn Bridge and the George Washington Bridge keep us motivated to continue to the finish line. If you find yourself out there when the ride takes place on October 17th, give the cyclists a cheer.

How to Donate

Team Guys and Dolls likes to set the bar high for our fundraising goals. After all, this subject is very near and dear to our hearts. Right now, we are over halfway to our $12,000 goal. But we need your help in this final stretch to go all the way. Please visit our team fundraising page here or click on the donate button above. Every bit helps. And all donations go directly to the National MS Society to fund research into MS and its treatments as well as support and services to those living with MS. Thank you so much for your help. By the way, we welcome riders of all ages and experience levels to join the Guys and Dolls Team for Bike MS NYC 2021. It is not too late. Contact me today.

Bike MS NYC 2019 – Guys and Dolls Hit the Road Again

September 13, 2019 by Scott Gleason

I believe an active lifestyle helps promote a healthy mind as well as a healthy body. I also believe in helping others whenever possible. Several years ago, we found out that my sister-in-law, Diane, had Multiple Sclerosis (MS). We watched this terrible disease attack her body. But her spirit remained strong. We don’t want others to see their loved ones experience the devastating effects of this disease. That’s why we choose to participate in Bike MS NYC 2019.

The National Multiple Sclerosis Society has made it its mission to stamp out this disease. They provide funds for research into finding a cure for MS. But they also offer support to individuals and their families living with MS. One way they raise money for all that they do is through events like Bike MS. And that’s where your generosity comes in.

Team Guys & Dolls

For more than 20 years now, Team Guys & Dolls have ridden in Bike MS events. So far, we’ve raised more than $70,000 for the National MS Society. This year, we set a team goal of $15,000. But we need your assistance to bring this to fruition. Please visit our Team Guys & Dolls page to donate what you can. Everything helps.

Also, let us know if you’d like to join our team for the ride. We’d love the company. We get together often to train before the day of the event. So, if you aren’t an avid rider at the moment, you have enough time to get ready if you join now.

Bike MS NYC takes place on Sunday, October 20th, 2019. That’s when the usual hustle and bustle of Manhattan dies down. The only traffic noise you’ll hear is the sound of bicycle wheels whizzing by. It’s just about the only time you get to enjoy a ride through the city without cars and trucks in the way.

Please donate today. And on behalf of the other members of Team Guys & Dolls, I would like to thank everyone who has supported us over the past two decades. We appreciate it more than you know. Together, we can stamp out MS forever.

Bike MS NYC 2018: Fighting MS One Ride at a Time

September 21, 2018 by Scott Gleason

When we stop moving, we stop living. As a supporter of an active lifestyle, I love cycling. Riding around my Westfield neighborhood helps me truly appreciate our lifestyle here. Unfortunately, we also know that some people aren’t physically able to ride. My sister-in-law, Diane, was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis several years ago. So, we’ve seen the ravages this places on a person’s body and mind first hand. That’s why Team Guys & Dolls signed up for Bike MS NYC 2018.

The National Multiple Sclerosis Society provides support and education for individuals afflicted with MS as well as their families. They are also the leading fundraiser for MS research in the country. Riding for them again is an honor and a privilege. Besides, who can pass up an opportunity to enjoy a traffic-free ride around Manhattan?

Bike MS NYC 2018 takes place on October 21st. That means we have exactly one month from today to reach our team goal of $5000. We’re so close, too. Your donation could push us right over the line. Visit the Team Guys & Dolls donation page here to show support for a particular member of the team. Or, you can donate to the team in general. Over the last 20 years, my team and I managed to raise more than $70,000 to fight MS. Please help us continue our efforts by donating today. We ride for those who can’t. Please join us in spirit. Thank you.
