Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page! This year I am
riding for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.

This is the 5th Annual Blazing Saddles bike-for-charity Event. Our objective is to raise a combined team total of £20,000 (approx.,$26,400). Our company’s main UK charity is Marie Curie and in memory of our colleague Payam’s late wife, Nuria. International team members, like myself, are encouraged to ride for a charity of their choosing in their local communities.
As such, I have elected to ride for, and donations directed to the US-based National Multiple Sclerosis Society. I selected this charity on behalf of a childhood friend. Martha is an MS patient who was diagnosed in 2007. She raises money on her own for MS, rides diligently, and participates in the Bike MS 2-day ride every year in North Texas. I respectively asked that you support me, my Blazing Saddles corporate team, Martha and the MS Society by donating to this cause.
Multiple Sclerosis is a progressive neurological disease that affects people in many different ways. It could be paralysis one day, loss of vision the next or impaired memory the day after that. Living with MS means living with uncertainty.
The National MS Society is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Your contribution
is tax deductible to the extent allowed by law. No goods or services will be provided in exchange for your financial donation. If you have any questions, please contact me or the Society at 1-800-344-4867.
In the past 4 years, the Blazing Saddles team has cycled in France, Germany and Holland. This year, on July 11th, we plan to start in the historic city of Bruge, Belgium and cross into Holland very quickly. Along our route we will cross the Dutch and Belgium borders around six or seven times ending in Amsterdam on our third day. Cheers and thank you in advance for your generosity.
