Two locals who were recently appointed ambassadors for the Bike MS Great New Jersey Country Ride are hoping to go the distance in the fight against multiple sclerosis (MS).
As ambassadors, Michael Gibney(of Ridgewood) , who works in Riverdale, and Rosemarie Collopy, who lives in Wanaque’s Haskell section, will join hundreds of area cyclists on Sept. 24 and 25 in the 24th annual Great New Jersey Country Bike Ride. The New Jersey Metro Chapter of the National MS Society organized the event.
All proceeds will support critical MS research programs and fund local programs and services for those who are impacted by the disease, including more than 13,000 people in New Jersey and more than 400,000 people nationwide.
Phil Koeghan, the Emmy Award-winning host of CBS’s “The Amazing Race,” will ride along with hundreds of area cyclists on Sept. 24.
