I'm going fundracing for MS research in the delivery room! Will you help me bring encouragement to the world of MS and beyond?

Our Race
Tri-fest for MS Sprint and Olympic triathlons. The combined distances are 47.7 miles. Consider donating a sum for each mile completed.

Our Story
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." Margaret Mead.

We have participated in hundreds of endurance events and witnessed many physically challenged athletes. After we arrived in Northwest Arkansas, we had the good fortune to meet Scott and Jo Rampy, who has MS. A short triathlon set up for Jo and many of her friends participated and encouraged her to complete it. She did, and from that grew the Tri-Fest for MS, the Rampy MS Research Foundation and Team Endurance for MS.

Our Encouragement
All of the people impacted by MS who persevere.

Dedication
We dedicate our race to the 700,000 persons impacted by MS.

About the 2016 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.
