Fundraising Impact

Bike MS is one of the National MS Society’s premier fundraising events that brings change and hope to more than 12,800 people living with MS and their families in the Upstate New York Chapter – and around the nation. Bike MS truly is a celebration of a hope as our community comes together to ride and raise money toward a world free of multiple sclerosis. Your efforts support the many programs and services provided by the Society, and fund important research into the cause, treatments and a cure for MS.

Putting your dollars to work

Below are examples of how the money you raise benefits people with MS. 

  • $35 - Assist self-help groups in supporting people affected by MS in our community
  • $65 - Fund wellness programs aimed at treating the mind, body and spirit
  • $120 - Help pay for a physical therapy session to manage MS symptoms by enhancing strength and mobility
  • $200 - Fuel our cause to help influence change by engaging elected officials to make MS a national priority
  • $400 - Help fund a researcher working toward a cure 

Every dollar counts in the fight against MS. Here is an example of how money you raise is directly benefitting people living with MS in our local communities: 

  • $50 will purchase a cane to improve walking ability
  • $75 will pay for a family to receive counseling when a loved one has just been diagnosed with MS
  • $84 will pay for an occupational therapist to evaluate the safety of the home of someone living with MS
  • $100 will cover the cost of a walker for someone living with MS who has difficulty walking
  • $250 provides three sessions of rehabilitation therapy
  • $1,500 can cover the cost of a scooter for someone living with MS
  • $2,500 provides 150 hours of homecare assistance 

Research: 

In 2011, the National MS Society committed $40 million to support 325 new MS research projects around the world.
