Mar 15, 2017 /prREACH/ -- At 7:00 A.M. on March 4th Jeffrey R. Davis joined Alexandria’s Angels in the Bike MS: Breakaway to Key Largo ride for Multiple Sclerosis. This MS Ride, which begins at the FIU Campus in Miami, follows a route that takes approximately 1,500 cyclists through the Redlands and Homestead, culminating at Key Largo resorts. Team Captain Alexandria Mastriana-Solal and her team raised over $200,000 for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. The event was incredible!
Three distinct routes were carefully prearranged with police officers halting traffic at every major intersection and crossing. Thousands and thousands of people not only participated in the ride but lined the streets to cheer on the riders. The logistical support, organization and volunteer efforts were phenomenal. Alexandria’s Angels were given the first pull position after a series of inspirational speakers with MS, an appearance by the FIU ROTC and a rousing singing of the National Anthem.
Eventually, after peddling more than 50 miles against 20 MPH headwinds, Alexandria’s Angels assembled for a celebratory lunch at the world-famous Alabama Jack’s on Card Sound Road and a good time for a great cause was had by all.
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an unpredictable, often disabling disease of the central nervous system that disrupts the flow of information within the brain, and between the brain and the body. In MS, damage to the myelin coating around the nerve fibers in the central nervous system and to the nerve fibers themselves interferes with the transmission of nerve signals between the brain, spinal cord and the rest of the body. Disrupted nerve signals cause the symptoms of MS, which vary from one person to another and over time for any given individual, depending on where and when the damage occurs. The mission of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society is described as follows: “People affected by MS can live their best lives as the society stops MS in its tracks, restores what has been lost and ends MS forever”.
