40 days, 3500 miles, More Than $450,000 Raised – One Man’s Journey Toward a World Free of MS.
| Phil Keoghan, starting his ride at the Pacific Ocean |
Phil Keoghan’s ride across America presented by GNC LiveWell may have ended in New York City on May 8, but his impact will live on.
In just 40 days, Keoghan logged well over 3,500 miles, climbed tens of thousands of feet, and in collaboration with GNC’s in-store fundraising campaign, raised over $450,000 for the National MS Society.
“Phil’s efforts galvanized the entire MS community. His incredible focus and commitment to both his ‘amazing ride’ and the MS movement is unique and inspiring to everyone impacted by multiple sclerosis,” commented Joyce Nelson, President & CEO of the National MS Society. “Many thanks to Phil Keoghan and GNC for their incredible efforts and for bringing us closer to crossing the finish line for a world free of MS.”
