<div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div>Well, I missed out sharing this at the May meeting, then we didn't have the June meeting. I missed sending something to the newsletter twice too! So I'm sharing on the RMC list today and will be at the meeting today with my cones.</div><div><br></div><div>Many of you know I have been riding each year to fight Multiple Sclerosis in the Bike MS tour. Many of you have sponsored me in the past and I thank you for that! </div><div><img src="cid:ii_mrghqdzv4" alt="Finish Line!.png" width="472" height="232"><br></div><div><br></div><div>I started in 1990 as a fun challenge with friends, raising the minimum amount. In 1994 I broke my elbow while out on a training ride 3 weeks before the event, and I volunteered at the starting line that year. I got to meet many people living with MS, and learn more about their challenges and how the MS Society supports them. From there I became a dedicated fundraiser as well as a rider. We formed a team around 2015 that became Team CONEHEADS. In 2024 we achieved a lifetime team total of $1 million, and we keep on going.</div><div><img src="cid:ii_mrgh173s0" alt="Cert + ConeHero.PNG" width="452" height="197"><br></div><div>Over the years I have seen improvement in diagnosis and treatment to manage MS. People living with MS diagnosed today are much better off than they were in 1990 thanks to the research we fund and the direct care the MS Society offers. Colorado has the highest prevalence of MS in the country, and it most often strikes young active adults who suddenly find they can't do what they always could. And 4 out of 5 living with MS are women.</div><div><br></div><div>My goal this year is to raise $3,000 and my Team CONEHEADS is working to raise $100,000. </div><div><br></div><div>The easiest way to sponosr is to use my fundraising page for an online donation below. </div><div><a href="https://events.nationalmssociety.org/participants/764433" target="_blank">https://events.nationalmssociety.org/participants/764433</a>. If you look there my total looks pretty low but I have a lot of coworker donations and company matches coming that are held up a bit.</div><div><br></div><div>I can also take cash, or a check written to the <b>National MS Society</b>, or <b>NMSS</b> for short. Write me back for an address if you need to mail.</div><div><br></div><div>Thank you for considering sponsoring me and helping to fight Multiple Sclerosis!</div><div>--Rob</div><div><b style="background-color:transparent"><font face="tahoma, sans-serif" size="4"><br></font></b></div><div><b style="background-color:transparent"><font face="tahoma, sans-serif" size="4">Rob Brereton</font></b></div><div><br></div><div><img src="cid:ii_mrghe8fq10" alt="b7ace500-5ef3-431b-ab37-27bfe4392441.png" width="200" height="160" style="background-color: transparent; margin-right: 0px;"><img src="cid:ii_mrgheqb511" alt="ca666d80-4a53-47a5-a86e-1b590d691b8b.png" width="140" height="100" style="background-color: transparent; margin-right: 0px;"> <img src="cid:ii_mrghbhzm3" alt="image.png" width="280" height="165" style="background-color: transparent; margin-right: 0px;"></div><div><br></div></div>
