Baptist sponsors MS fundraiser

Baptist Memorial Health Care is among the sponsors for the 2014 FedEx “Rock and Roll” Bike MS Ride from Sept. 6-7, 2014. The 150-mile ride begins at the Landers Center in Southaven, Miss. An alternate 84-mile route is available.

Proceeds benefit the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, an organization that mobilizes people and resources to drive research for a cure and to address the challenges of everyone affected by the disorder. Multiple sclerosis is a potentially debilitating disease in which the body’s immune system eats away at the protective sheath that covers the nerves.

To help fight MS, join the ride or contribute by visiting biketns.nationalmssociety.org. The team name is “Baptist:”
