Simply incredible. As riders approach the finish line of the MS bike ride, Callie Murray is there cheering them on. Living with MS, this is her first year unable to do the Grand Bend to London trip with her teammates. Chronic fatigue is one of my um biggest um symptoms. Um word recall. Obviously, I’m having a hard time finding words right now. Um but could be anything. Her group, the nervous Rex, was one of the teams making the 150 kilometer ride. Their contribution was part of the $725,000 raised for the neurological disease. I was diagnosed 10 years ago, so this is obviously very close to my my heart. This year’s pretty emotional because I’m not able to ride. I started with the St. Thomas fire department a few years back. Uh met one of the guys that I work with, his wife Callie, who I just spoke with. she has MS and uh just started getting into road biking and they were talking about wanting to do the ride and um I was all for it obviously a great cause and Callie’s amazing. As the cyclists finish, Jane Haron would celebrate and say thank you. She volunteers in memory of her sister. She had progressive MS and I’m doing it in her memory. She passed 30 years ago and it devastated our family. 90,000 Canadians are living with MS and approximately 12 people per day will be diagnosed in this country. Once again, the leading fundraiser was Barry Travick who brought in close to $70,000 in pledges. Taking part for all 35 years in memory of his sister, he’s raised over $1.2 million for the cause. People say, “Okay, uh, you know what? Is this the last year?” He says, “No, I mean, you know, as long as I’m able to cycle, you know, two days of cycling is 10 times better than living with MS.” Brent Leo, CTV News.
