Upcoming Community Events

MS 150: BIKE TO THE RIVER

October 1-2, 2022 Bike from San Antonio to New Braunfels to help raise money and awareness for the Multiple Sclerosis Society. To donate or join the team visit https://mssociety.donordrive.com/. As part of the Methodist Healthcare sponsorship for Bike MS: Valero Ride to the River 2022, we are looking for volunteers: • Leading up to the ride, the MS Society office needs help packing rider bags, making phone calls, printing and organizing for riders with MS. • We are also looking for 30 medical volunteers to help at the rest stops over the ride weekend. The event takes place October 1-2, 2022. There is a need for first aid/first responders at each of the 15 stops along the two-day route. We are looking for medical volunteers or trained medical personnel to help those riders who have MS at the rest stops. Many of them need a little extra assistance getting on or off their bikes, cool towels or cooling vests to help regulate body temperatures during the ride. If you are interested in signing up for either of these volunteer opportunities please use this link: https://nmss.galaxydigital.com/need/detail/?need_id=702349
