The Training Wheels of Lamoine will ride the Multiple Sclerosis 150 Bike to the Breakwater on Saturday, Aug. 2, and Sunday, Aug. 3, a fund-raiser based at St. Joseph College in Standish.

Riders Kari Graceland and Robin Kauffman, along with 14-year-olds Cody Spruce and Devin Sprague, will be supported by: Tom and Lori Spruce, Cody’s parents, Tammy Sprague, Devin’s mother, and Robyn Pride of Bangor. They have all volunteered to work the two-day event.

The ride is Graceland’s fourth, but the first for the others, and they would appreciate your help.

To compete, the adults need to raise $250 each, and the youngsters $100 each.

They’ve been contacting relatives and friends and writing letters, but they hope you too will contribute to the effort.

“I like the event because it is for the Maine Chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society,” Graceland said.

If you can help, send donations to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, 1003 Shore Road, Lamoine 04605. Write Graceland’s name, or any of the others, on the memo line or pledge online at www.ms maine.org.
