YOUR
IMPACT
By joining us in MS Bike, you have become part
of the community who are making a difference
in the fight to end MS.
Every dollar you fundraise supports
ground-breaking research and empowers
people affected by MS to live their best
lives. Because of this, we are able to
build momentous progress toward a
world free of multiple sclerosis.
YOU HELPED FUND THIS VITAL STUDY
ON CHILDREN WITH MS
When Dr. Brenda Banwell and her team
launched the Canadian Pediatric Demyelinating
Disease study in 2004, most Canadians didn’t
even know that multiple sclerosis could affect
children. Because of MS research funded by
supporters like you, we are able to determine
that many Canadian children are diagnosed with
MS every year.
Dr. Banwell’s team has spent 15 years monitoring
585 children and collecting information about
their symptoms, family history, physical and
cognitive health, and taking blood samples and
brain MRIs to support research.
They discovered that around 1 in every 100,000
Canadian children experiences a first attack
of what might be MS each year. Over 90% of
children recover well from this first attack, but
around 20% of those children will ultimately be
diagnosed with MS.
Funding vital research like Dr. Banwell’s
study is crucial in uncovering information
about childhood MS and moving us closer to
understanding MS genetics.
Dr. Brenda Banwell’s research is uncovering critical information about
childhood MS, and is moving us closer to understanding MS genetics.

WHY
$350?
The minimum fundraising
requirement for MS Bike is $350.
This helps provide a fun-filled
event experience while ensuring
that we continue to fund:
• world-leading Canadian MS
research into the cause and
cure of MS
• services to support and help
people affected by MS live their
best lives
• advocacy to achieve the goals
important to the MS community
FRIENDS
AND FAMILY
Alli, whose mom was diagnosed with MS
when she was only six years old, started
participating in MS Bike five years ago
as part of her friends and family team,
Barbie’s Believers.
“To say the ride creates community is an
understatement - we become family”, says
Leithoff. “We ride together as one, and it truly
brings out the best in everyone.”
Cycling alongside your friends and family at
MS Bike is an exciting and fulfilling experience.
Whether your family and friends team is big
or small, you will be fully supported by the MS
Bike team from start to finish.

TEAM CAPTAIN’S “In 2015, my best friend and brother-in-law, Jan
Laarman, was diagnosed with MS. It very suddenly
CORNER became personal and a fight that I was more than
willing to join,” says Matthew Martinell. “Since then,
Jan and I have had the privilege to co-captain PCL
Construction’s team, one of the largest MS Bike
teams in Canada, and raise money to fund much-
needed research.”
“It’s amazing to watch colleagues come and ride
year after year and leave closer to each other
because of what they experience together,”
Matthew explains.
