About us.

Mission

Raise awareness in communities across the UK and connect people with the cause via cross country bicycle rides that raise funds to address the challenges of those affected by multiple sclerosis and help fund research for a cure.

Vision

We envision a world where engaged citizens give back through adventure and where no one has to hear the words, "you have MS."

Values

Our top three priorities are to make a positive impact in the lives of everyone living with multiple sclerosis, to be safe on the road and to have fun.

Cassie joined Bike the US for MS as a cyclist in 2011 on the Northern Tier Route. Her college roommate had been diagnosed and biking across the country to fight MS seemed like the perfect way to spend the summer. She has a Masters Degree in Public Administration from the University of Montana and has played a critical role in growth of the organisation.

It's been a hell of a journey

Since our inaugural UK ride in 2014, it really has been an amazing adventure. Our alumni family have collectively raised over £250,000 through pedalling around the UK and we couldn’t be prouder of every one of them!

US Inception - 2007

Bike the US for MS was formed by Don Fraser when he and friends tackled the Northern Tier from Maine to Washington.

Expanded to the UK - 2014

Our first adventure with a 12 strong team riding from John O’Groats to Land’s End. Who knew this would be just the start of the journey.

Reached £200k Fundraising - 2020

Despite a pandemic, we were able to cross the £200k of fundraising since our first trip.

New NC500 Ride - 2021

Our team of intrepid alumni took on our trial of the North Coast 500 route. It was so successful we’ve had to run it twice in 2022!
