Everyone has a different reason for getting involved with the
Bike MS: Breakaway to Key Largo. For some, it’s the challenge.
For others, it’s the camaraderie. But for many more, it’s the
opportunity to help people living with MS. Ultimately by
riding, you are showing your support for the thousands
of people affected by MS. We have the best fundraisers,
volunteers, teams, sponsors and supporters. Because of you,
we continue to change the world for people affected by MS!

Special Thanks to our Volunteers and Sponsors
The success of the2015 Bike MS: Breakaway to Key Largo is
directly related to the 400 wonderful volunteers who help
make the event run as smoothly and safely as possible.
Whether you worked at the registration tables or rest stops,
drove a SAG vehicle, cheered on cyclists, or came into the
office to help, you are an indispensable part of Bike MS. Your
smiles and enthusiasm continue to dazzle and inspire our
riders and staff. Volunteers are one of the reasons participants
come back every year and tell us that the “Breakaway To Key
Largo” is the best. We couldn’t have done it without you! Your
dedication, commitment and efforts are changing the lives
of all those affected by MS.
The generosity of corporate partners allows us to provide
more funds to research, advocacy, programs and services for
persons living with MS. We appreciate our corporate partners
for recognizing this compelling cause and thank them for
making it their business to see a world free of MS.
