For the 4th year in a row, Lion's Choice® sponsored the annual MS 150 Bike Tour held in Columbia, Missouri on September 9 and 10. The Lion's Choice® Restaurant-on-Wheels trailer provided lunch for all of the cyclists on Saturday, September 9th. In addition to providing lunch, Lion's Choice® entered a 43 member cycling team, Team Lion's Choice®, to participate in the 2-day event. These 43 cyclists raised more than $16,000 to contribute towards the $2 million raised by the 2,773 cyclists who participated in this event.

Considered by many to be the premier cycling event in Missouri, the MS 150 Bike Tour is a destination event. Cyclists from all over the United States converge in Columbia, Missouri to ride and raise funds for multiple sclerosis (MS) research and program support.

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) usually strikes adults in the prime of life - between the ages of 20 and 50. It is a chronic disease of the central nervous system affecting the brain and spinal cord. One new case of MS is diagnosed every hour. If you are interested in helping to find a cure, contact the Gateway Area Chapter of the National MS Society at www.gatewaymssociety.org or call 1-800-FIGHT MS.

If you are interested in joining the Lion's Choice cycling team for 2007, e-mail Jim Tobias.
