The Champions program helps unite cyclists who may not have a connection to someone living with MS. This is a wonderful way to promote education, awareness, and friendship. Champions and Bike MS participants can get to know each other before the event via e-mail or phone and can even arrange to meet the day of the event.
To make the connection between the rider and the Champion more personal, Champions will select a symbol that is in some way representative of their personality. The riders will wear or carry this identifier during the ride. This is a great way for the Champion and the rider to get to know each other even better and a fun way for the rider to show their support.
