The Champions Against MS program has become a special way for the Bike MS: Georgia Power Savannah Ride cyclists to connect with people in the community living with MS. It is an opportunity for cyclists to personalize their tour experience by riding for someone with MS. The Champions Against MS program also offers cyclists extra motivation to reach the finish line. Your Champion will sign a brightly colored bandanna for you to wear throughout the duration of the Bike Tour. You will be able to receive your signed bandanna either at Packet Pickup or at the Start location. If you are already riding for someone you know with MS, you can pick up a blank bandanna at Packet Pickup for your Champion to sign before you ride away in the Bike MS: Georgia Power Savannah Ride.
Champions Against MS is a fun way to enhance your Bike MS: Georgia Power Savannah Ride experience. Here are some helpful tips: Call, e-mail, or write your Champion living with MS; build a friendship and let them know that you care.
Keep a diary or log of your ride. Share these thoughts and your excitement with your Champion.
Send your Champion pictures of your cycling adventure. Make them feel like they were along for the ride.
Stay in touch and remain Champions together in the fight against MS! With your Champion’s permission, share their story. Tell your Champion’s story while fundraising or telling others about your Bike MS: Georgia Power Savannah Ride experience.
Send your bandanna and a note to your Champion. Tell them what your tour experience meant to you and how their signed bandanna motivated you over those tough hills to the finish line.
Either complete the Champion sign-up form or sign up to be a Champion when you register for the tour.
