Description
Donate to Rob Farthing's Bike MS Fundraiser In this episode, we are thrilled to feature Rob Farthing, a true beacon of hope and relentless fighter in the quest to end Multiple Sclerosis. Rob’s journey began unexpectedly when a search for a local bike ride turned into a profound commitment to Bike MS, ignited by his cousin Sharon Hundley's battle with the disease. Sharon, once wheelchair-bound by MS, now thrives in remission, fueling Rob’s passion to drive forward research and community support. Rob shares his heartening story from cycling across scenic routes to mowing lawns for a cause. Yes, you heard it right—his unique fundraising initiative, Mowing for MS, showcases his creative and spirited approach to support the fight against MS. Over 17 years, Rob has not only pedaled with purpose but has also raised his fundraising goals to new heights, aiming for $20,000 this year, thanks to the unwavering support of his community. Join us as Rob discusses the transformation of the Bike MS event format, his role as a self-appointed 'Ride Evangelist,' and the personal stories of resilience that motivate him every day. This episode isn’t just about a fight against a disease; it’s about the power of community, the strength found in personal connections, and the incredible impact of one man’s resolve to make a difference. Ride along with us and be inspired by a story where every pedal and every blade of grass cut brings us closer to a world free from MS.
