When I think of gratitude, I think of the MS Society and MS Bike. In 1988, I suffered from an acute attack of optic neuritis, among other complications and was transported to Edmonton via ambulance from a small town in Alberta. Not only would I later learn of my diagnosis with multiple sclerosis, but also that the MS Society would become a significant part of my life. Following a two-week hospital stay, and before returning home to rural Alberta, I visited the MS Society. Th...at was the beginning of transforming something that was so devastating into hope and strength. Having had such a positive experience with the MS Society, I knew that would not be my last visit. In the coming months, I relocated to Edmonton and returned to the MS Society with the interest of volunteering. Ever since that time I have been involved in a variety of activities including serving on the Board of Directors, walking and volunteering with the MS Walk, door-to-door campaigns, the Carnation Campaign, MS Gala and the fundraiser most dear to me: The MS Bike Leduc to Camrose. Over the years, I have met many cyclists and have made lasting friendships. For those of you have participated in the MS Bike, you may recall seeing me at the finish line with a carnation for your helmet. It is that second day of the tour where the cyclists have often braved every element of the weather and to see them come in with a smile on their face is truly heartwarming. Every cyclist, all the volunteers, and the incredible MS Staff who work tirelessly throughout the year in preparation, are who make the MS Bike the huge success it is today! A heartfelt thank you to everyone and the generous sponsors! - Lesley Ripley, MS Society of Canada Volunteer for 31 years, diagnosed in 1988 Go the distance and make a difference from anywhere this weekend.
