Greg Babetz and the Land Rover Management Team are excellent community partners of the Mid-Atlantic Chapter's Bike MS Greenville. The dealership generously provided us with Land Rovers at our 2008 Bike MS event to use as Support and Gear (SAG) vehicles for the bike ride. We look forward to working with Land Rover again at our 2009 Bike MS event on October 3-4! |

Tiana Cain first volunteered with the Chapter at the Savannah River Ride Bike Event in McCormick, SC in 2007. Her enthusiasm and good-natured manner was immediately apparent and she did a great job encouraging the cylists. Tiana served as the volunteer coordinator at the Bike MS start site in Greenville last year, but she wore many hats in two days – helping with event set-up, participant registration, and serving as an information specialist extrordinaire! |

Christine Posner's first volunteer experience with our chapter was at the Savannah River Ride. Christine jumped right in with our chapter: After volunteering for the Savannah River Ride, she participated in the Greenville Walk, helped plan the Greenville Great Gatsby and was one of the leaders in the Greenville MS Community who attended the Upstate South Carolina Summit in Greenville last year. Christine and her husband Brian also took on the communication and assignments for the volunteers with Bike MS this past year! |

Sylvia Skipper is committed to finding a cure and creating a world free of MS. Sylvia, along with friends and family, including her daughter Carol, has captained a favorite rest stop of the bike ride for years called the Body Shop, complete with tattoos and music. The family volunteered for MS Service Day last year and did a great job. This year Sylvia played a critical role in securing rest stop locations on the Greenville Route of the bike ride and recruiting a rest stop sponsorship and many volunteers. Through connections Sylvia has with the Master Gardeners, we now have a beautiful, orange, miniature rose called the MS Hope Rose. Proceeds from the sale of this rose benefit the National MS Society. |

She is a SC MS Activist, attends SC Advocacy Day, is one of 4 state representatives on the SC MS study committee, and was an Upstate South CarolinaLeadership Summit facilitator. |
