MS150: Eyes on a Cure

One of the exciting things going on at Mann Eye is our participation in the MS150. We have started our first annual MS150 team called Eyes on a Cure. As you may know, the MS150 is a bike ride from Houston to Austin to raise money for research to find a cure for multiple sclerosis. If you have a family member or friend who suffers from this condition, you know that it can be a devastating disease.

From the MS Society website:

Multiple sclerosis is a chronic, often disabling disease that attacks the central nervous system, which is made up of the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves. Symptoms may be mild, such as numbness in the limbs, or severe, such as paralysis or loss of vision. The progress, severity, and specific symptoms of MS are unpredictable and vary from one person to another. Today, new treatments and advances in research are giving new hope to people affected by the disease.

We will post some pictures of our training and let you know if we are all going to survive the bike ride or not. :)
