Description

Donate to William (Bill) Fitzgerald's Bike MS Fundraiser In this episode, we delve into the story of Bill Fitzgerald, a renowned news anchor at WTVR CBS 6 in Richmond, Virginia, whose experience with his mother-in-law’s battle against Multiple Sclerosis propelled him into the heart of the MS advocacy movement. Since 2013, Bill has been an active participant in Bike MS, using his influence to raise awareness and support for the cause. As the annual emcee for the Bike MS: Colonial Cross Roads event and a host for the 2020 virtual year, he has played a crucial role in rallying the community and driving fundraising efforts. Bill shares insights into how his journey with MS advocacy began, the impact of his mother-in-law’s resilience on his commitment to the cause, and his unwavering resolve to contribute to finding a cure for MS, reflecting on the powerful legacy of love and determination she left behind.
