Why We Ride

Published Monday, July 10, 2006 by Ms. Russell | E-mail this post

Every now and then amidst the camaraderie, and the candy bars, milkshakes, root beers, ice cream, and donuts, we get a reminder of what this ride is all about. Here is part of an email I received this week:

" I cannot tell you how pleased I was to read about TEAM OMS
in my Tiger Tracks. I have two boys who attend TES and it meant a lot
for them to see Tabernacle teachers actively participating in the fight
against MS. I am always touched by the generosity of strangers in this
fight. I have been battling against the disease for 13 years."

This is why we ride.

You can help Team OMS in the battle against OMS by sponsoring a rider, or making a tax-deductible pledge to the team. Checks should be made out to the National MS Society and sent to:
Team OMS
c/o Olson Middle School
132 New Rd.
Tabernacle, NJ 08088

There are other ways to help, too! Volunteers are always needed the weekend of the ride. Or hey, come on down to Ocean City and cook us breakfast on Sunday! :-)
