news bulletin

Dateline:  July 18, 2002

Discounted Registration Offered For The National Multiple Sclerosis Society’s 2002 MS 150 City To Shore Bike Tour Presented By Commerce Bank And Subaru On Saturday and Sunday, September 28-29

The early bird gets the worm, but the early cyclist gets a $20 discount when registering for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society’s MS 150 City To Shore Bike Tour held on Saturday and Sunday, September 28-29. Register before Friday, August 30 for only $40 ($20 less than the day-of event fee of $60) and choose between one and two-day scenic routes to the Jersey Shore for the beginner to the advanced cyclist. Once registered, participants make a minimum pledge of at least $200 to help end MS and to benefit over 9,000 area residents with the disease. Cyclists begin at 6:00 a.m. on Saturday at the Patco Woodcrest Hi-Speedline Station in Cherry Hill, NJ and cycle to Ocean City and a night of fun on the boardwalk before riding back the next day. The tour, presented by Commerce Bank and Subaru, features fully-stocked rest stops, full medical and transportation support, festive finish-line parties on both days and an extra-special awards ceremony hosted by KYW-3 EYEWITNESS NEWS ANCHOR Larry Kane. To register or for more information, call 800-445-BIKE or visit the tour web site at www.ms150biketour.org.

All participants who turn in the required minimum to support MS research for a cure receive the National MS Society’s “Certificate Of Completion” and the official MS 150 T-shirt. Top fundraisers are eligible for prizes including cycling equipment and clothing, gift certificates and trips for two. In addition, those pledging more than $1,000 receive specialized training by Carmichael Training Systems, which includes training rides, trainer support, and online encouragement.

The MS 150 City To Shore Bike Tour is presented by Commerce Bank and Subaru. Additional sponsors for the event include: Exceptional Medical Transportation, Gsell Moving and Storage, Hatfield, KYW-3, Nantucket Nectars, PATCO, Pepperidge Farm, Turkey Hill, UTZ, V8 Splash, Virtua Health, Wissahickon Mountain Spring Water, and 94 WYSP.
