Bike MS

Two close friends of mine suffer from MS, a degenerative neurological disease with no known cure. That’s why I, with a group of friends, ride from San Francisco to wine country every year to raise money in support of the National MS Society.

The rides usually take place in the fall, and per-rider donations are only open during that timeframe. If the window is open, I’ll have a donation page ready over at BikingWhiteGuy.com. If that page isn’t up, but you’d still like to donate, you can do so directly through the National MS Society.

To help hit my donation goal, I sometimes do video game-themed live streams with friends. You can view the archives of those streams here:

In 2017, I strapped a smartphone to my head and streamed live from the ride. It wasn’t exactly comfortable, but it kind of worked! If you want to view those archives for some reason, you can do so here.
