Katie MacDonald - Bike the US for MS
What a weekend! Yesterday morning I met up with Noah, Bike and Build alumni and fellow Harvard student, and we cycled all the way down to Providence, RI. Noah was incredibly helpful in terms of giving tips for the ride, and telling me all about his experiences biking across the country last summer. The ride was absolutely fantastic, and we were able to make a couple stops for frostys and apple cider. Not only was this my first metric century (100km), but it was also my first time biking across state lines! Unfortunately the "Welcome to Rhode Island" sign was obscured by trees, so we couldn't do the obligatory photo in front of the sign, but it was exciting nonetheless. We were, however, able to stop by Brown University and get some photos before catching the train back to Boston. The Main Green at Brown University. Today was the MuckFest MS 5K Mud Run! For those of you who haven't heard of it, it is a great excuse to get covered in mud, spend time with your friends, and support a great cause. It was a little chilly today, but we had a great time. MuckFest Boston alone had 5,000 participants and raised nearly $700,000! If you have the chance to run in one this summer or in the future, I highly recommend it! Pre-mud at the MuckFest Mud Run! However, I have to say the best part of all of from this weekend was that I finally reached my fundraising goal!! Thanks so much to Kevin, Ted, Gordana, the Sullivans, the Heitzners, Jon Mark, and everyone else who has contributed to the cause! Your generosity truly humbles me, and I am so grateful for your support.
