(Note: This is posted with Chip's permission) Dear DegreeInfo members, Next April 16 & 17, I will be participating with thousands of other cyclists in my first Houston-Austin MS150 Tour, supporting efforts to fight, treat, and cure multiple sclerosis. The MS150 is a two-day, 150-plus mile ride. On the first day, we leave from Katy, TX (West side of Houston) and ride 81.6 miles to La Grange, where we’ll stay overnight. The second day is a grueling 80.2 mile ride through parts of the Texas Hill Country, and finishing at the Texas State Capitol in Austin. So, that’s 161.8 mile in two days… the short route. So how can you help me? By joining me with your pledge. You will help to fund research projects and programs for people living with MS. My goal is to raise $400. I have pledged $50 already and any amount that you can pledge would be greatly appreciated. To pledge is easy – you can do it online (with a credit card) by following this link: http://ms150.org/edon.cfm?id=172423. If giving your credit card info on a web site makes you paranoid, you can make a check payable to the National MS Society and put my name (Alex Traxler) on the memo line. Mail the check to: National MS Society Lone Star Chapter PO Box 4585 Houston, TX 77210-4585 The NMSS Lone Star Chapter is a 501(c)3 charitable organization and all donations are tax deductible to the fullest extent allowed by the law.
