Train. Race. Give.

This is what we do - all in the name of MS research. We call it fundracin' and you can help.  

Support the 2015 Team Endurance for MS
People with MS endure and encourage us onward, despite circumstances. It is our aim that we capture that spirit and share the encouragement forward through participating in endurance events. No matter what brings us to the starting line, we cheer each other to the finish line - in sport, in health and in life. 

Team Endurance for MS is an endurance sports team organized by the Rampy MS Research Foundation. Anyone can join the team. You name the race, and we support it! Currently, we offer participation in four ways:

• Team Endurance Home Event - Legends Triathlon, June 7, 2015, Lawrence, KS
• Foundation Home Event - TRIFEST for MS, Sept. 5-7, 2015, Bentonville, AR
• 1k, 5k, and 10k Events - Choose one near you!
• Choose Your Own Endurance Race or Adventure - Marathons, triathlons, cycling, swimming, mountain biking and more!

When you join the team, you commit to a fundraising minimum - $350 for shorter distances and $750 for longer ones. Upon joining, we connect you with fellow team members and help equip you with fundraising tips and tools. Oh ya, we also hook you up with some cool swag!

The 2015 Team Captain is professional triathlete Nick Waninger. Fellow team members include Gordon Haller, the first Kona Ironman champion in 1978, members from tri clubs including GPP and Triple Threat Racing and eight alumni from last year's team. One of our members is even hiking the entire Appalachian Trail. How can you use what you do to encourage the world of MS and beyond? Learn how you can get involved.

Know the Numbers

• MS is most commonly diagnosed in young adults. 
• 80% of MS patients develop MS between the ages of 16 and 45. 
• Women are more frequently diagnosed with MS by at least 2 to 1. 
• MS is the leading cause of disability in young women and the second leading cause of disability in young men.
• About 350,000 people live with MS in the United States. 200 new patients are diagnosed, every week. If each person diagnosed has just one family member, friend or caregiver, that's 700,000 people impacted.
