The BP MS150 raises more money for finding
a cure for MS than any other event in the country! It’s the largest MS150
charity ride in the country, but we can always do better. In
2009, Team Shell
raised approximately $333,505 versus a target of
$300,000. In 2008, we raised $272,000
versus a target of $225,000.
In 2009, the NMSS had a minimum fund raising requirement of $400/rider,
but Team Shell riders on the average raised over twice that amount!
The Team Shell Planning Committee
has set a goal of $400,000 for 2012. To view Team Shell's current progress
on reaching this goal:

Proceeds raised during the MS150 go to research, chapter services
assistance programs, MS clinics, self-help groups and peer-counseling,
education & community awareness.

When you see the MS150 Tour sign what comes to your mind first?
Do
you think about the challenge of riding to Austin?
Do
you think about the big party in La Grange?
Maybe
you dread the thought of spending nearly 180 miles on that narrow bike
seat of yours?
No matter what your
motivation, please do not lose sight of the fact that miles will not
help cure MS but dollars will. Your
personal pledge and fundraising efforts are absolutely critical to help
reach the lone-star chapter’s 2011 goal, supporting MS
research and client services to more than 17,000 Texan men, women and
children living with multiple sclerosis. With your help, we can set new
records, blaze new trails and pave the way in the fight to end multiple
sclerosis.

Shell strongly encourages you to aim for double, triple or even
quadruple your minimum pledge.
For the daring of you, go ahead and leave us in the dust with your 300
Club goal. The MS150 300 Club is an elite group of cyclists made up of
the top 300 fund-raisers. Collectively, these riders raise about 20%
money for the MS 150 each year. To reward these special individuals,
each is a member of the 300 Club and receives special benefits before,
during and after the ride that are exclusive to members. In 2009, Peter Birckhead
and Mark Livingston of Team Shell achieved membership in the
MS150 300 Club
