MS 1.5 Kid's Bike Challenge - Another success!

For its first year, the MS 1.5 Kid’s Bike Challenge was rated a success by participants and parents alike. Nearly 40 riders rode in this year’s event, circling Celebration Park in Allen.

The MS 150 team “The Wheeler Dealers” led the riders around the 1.5-mile paved bike path, while Allen Police Explorers monitored park entrances for safety.

The ride, designed to educate kids about bike safety, multiple sclerosis and helping others, was set in an atmosphere of fun. The event included music by DJ Diamond Dave, bike and helmet checks by Plano Cycling & Fitness, a raffle, bake sale and grab bags which raised nearly $600 for the Lone Star MS Society to fund research and provide services needed for those living with MS.

The event was so well received that vendors and participants have already marked their calendars for next years. Why not mark yours as well? Hope to see you there!
