St Nicholas Riders Ride Again!
On August 2nd, 2014, three unlikely heroes joined other dedicated individuals in a fight against an enemy that touches many live. The Saint Nicholas Riders presented a three person team at this years 175 mile bike ride, Petal to the Point: Ride to stop MS. Neil, Nancy and Emily Dragovich worked for a year to raise money and and awareness about this life altering disease. The team was able to raise $921.00.
During the bike ride the team worked together to keep each other motivated until Neil and Emily split off for the 25 mile extra lap. From there, The they each kept pushing through despite impending threat of weather and sore muscles, knowing that those with MS can never quit fighting so this team was going to keep pushing too. Nancy rode solo and completed 30 miles. Neil and Emily were able to successfully navigate the extra lap and completed almost 50 full miles.
The team is discussing entering again next year and invites anyone who is interested in riding next year to please talk with Neil Dragovich. Everyone is welcome. Please do not be intimidated by the overall mile goal, as you can see from this year's team's numbers completing the entire ride is not a requirement. The ultimate goal is to raise awareness about and funds for the continuing support and research for the MS Society.
