The Facts:

MS is a chronic and unpredictable disease that affects the central nervous system including the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves. It stops the flow of information between the brain and other parts of the body.

It affects every aspect of a person's life including mobility, finances, and family.

MS affects both adults and children, but females are 2.5 times more likely to be affected than males.

Day 7 Riding, Saturday March 24

Rode west to east from Dupont, LA to Morganza, LA via Plaucheville, Simmesport, and Innis

Phillip drove from Opelousas to Dupont. Began riding from Dupont. Tom Maddie, owner of Maddie's Truck Plaza in Simmesport, donated $20.

Stopped riding in Morganza. This filled in the gap we left between Morganza and Opelousas. Phillip drove 4 hours from Morganza to Wiggins, MS. Ate lunch from Burger King in route in the Yukon.

 

Rode west to east from Wiggins to White's Crossing.

For the day: 49 miles, 13.5 mph average, 3hours and 39 minutes riding time, 2540 calories burned.

Checked back into the Wiggins Hampton Inn that we had stayed in Friday night March 16. Phillip and Charley each retrieved a golf shirt they had left during that stay. Had good dinner at Cotton's Grill. Met nice waitress, Taylor, who has a cousin, Jordan, who has MS.
