Welcome to the team!

Hello everyone and welcome to the official site for PwC MS 150 team. The purpose of this site is to communicate with all team members upcoming events, fund raising progress and logistics.

The annual MS150 Bike Tour is a non-competitive bike ride to raise money for the National MS Society, whose mission is to end the devastating effects of multiple sclerosis. This event is the largest organized cycling event in the United States, with nearly 100,000 cyclists participating in over 100 tours nationwide. The MS150 is suitable for riders of all abilities. Riders pay a modest registration fee, then raise pledges for their efforts.

The goals for this year are:
1. Raise a minimum of $30,000
2. Raise awareness for MS
3. Build a large team (30+ riders) of PwC employees and alumni
4. Get in shape
5. Have a great time doing it all!

As the ground thaws out, we will be headed outdoors to ride our bikes and to do a bit of training. We will also be holding a 2 hr bike safety course taught by one of the GMG tour director to cover safety issues and ride protocol.

Stay tuned,

Miguel Roque
Team PwC Grand Poobah
