The Champions Against MS program has become a special way for the Bike MS: Cox Atlanta Ride 2008 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 bright red bandana for you to wear throughout the duration of the Tour. You will be able to receive your signed bandana either at Packet Pick Up or at the Start location. If you are already riding for someone you know with MS, you can pick up a blank bandana at Packet Pick Up for your Champion to sign before you ride away in the Bike MS: Cox Atlanta Ride 2008.
