My Race
My goal is to race the Sprint, at Trifest, and to race it with my son, Kent.

My Story
This morning my story is that I am honored to help raise money to research a cure for MS. Sometimes my story is a lot bigger, but this morning it is simple.

My Encouragement
Jo Rampy. And my good friend Becky Petrie. Both fellow members of Team Endurance for MS.

Dedication
I dedicate my race to my brother Patrick. He is 52 and has 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.

How It Works
Team Endurance for MS is an endurance sports team organized by the Rampy MS Research Foundation. When you join the team, you commit to a fundraising minimum. 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!
