For Immediate Release:
CNNH Staff & Friends Bike 75 Miles, from City to Shore, to Raise Funds for MS
October 3, 2011 - Team CNNH, comprised of 13 CNNH staff and friends, biked 75-miles from Cherry Hill to Ocean City, NJ on Saturday, September 24th in support of a cure for Multiple Sclerosis. This is the fifth year CNNH has participated. The event was sponsored by the National MS Society and over $6,000 was raised by CNNH participants to find a cure for this chronic neurological disorder. MS symptoms may include numbness, fatigue, paralysis or loss of vision and there is currently no known cause or cure. Every hour of every day, another person receives the life-changing diagnosis of MS.
Seven thousand cyclists of all ages and cycling abilities participated in this year's event, winding through the blueberry fields of Hammonton, to the South New Jersey pine barrens and over two steep bridges into historic Ocean City. MS stops people from moving and this annual event exists to make sure it doesn't.
