ARE YOU A BIKE MS CHAMPION?
Bike MS Champions are individuals living with MS who share their story to inspire and connect Bike MS to our mission. Stories are shared on the event website, social media, media print materials, and other communications to provide education opportunities that will further engage Bike MS fundraisers. Additionally, on select rides, Bike MS Champions provide their signature to be screen printed on an orange bandana that is carried by the cyclists during the event as a symbol of their commitment to making an impact on MS Now. If you would like to learn more about how you can be a Bike MS Champion, please call 800-344-4867.

MS DOCUMENTARY ON PBS
Jason DaSilva was 25 years old and a rising independent filmmaker when a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis changed everything — and inspired him to make another film. His uncompromising award winning documentary of life with progressing MS, “When I Walk,” opened PBS’ current season of Point-of-View this month, but you can stream it online through July 23.
RESEARCH UPDATE
With support from Arkansas MS activists, the House of Representatives last week voted to fund the MS Congressionally Directed Medical Research Program (CDMRP) at $10 million for 2015. This federally-funded program is an investment in high risk/high reward MS research; granting $28 million to date. Watch Representative Barbara Lee (CA-13) share her family’s connection to MS as the House votes on her $10 million MS research amendment. MS activists’ work is not done yet as the U.S. Senate still has to act on this bill. Join the Arkansas Action Network today and help MS Activists take this $10 million investment to the bank!
