UPDATE: Experea employee will bike 100 miles in ‘MS Bay to Bay Tour’

Here is a quick update on our previous post: Experea employee will bike 100 miles in ‘MS Bay to Bay Tour’

She did it! Not only did Annika bike the expected 100 miles for the Multiple Sclerosis Society’s ‘BIKE FOR MS – BAY TO BAY TOUR 2011′, but she also biked an extra 50 miles making this bike tour a total of 150 miles in two days!

“We biked the extra 50 miles as a symbol of the eternal struggle, MS patients, family members and loved ones experience by living with this debilitating disease,” explains Annika, “We dedicated it to everyone out there fighting that up-hill battle with MS! Their determination inspires all of us to go that extra mile… literally!”

Pretty awesome, right? Not only did she show off her incredible athletic ability, but her philanthropic heart also took center stage as she and her team (Team24 Pacific) raised a whopping, $58,568 for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society!

<- Check out Annika grinning ear to ear, showing off her fancy medal in the office. She hopped right off the bike and went back into the office the very next day — talk about dedication!

We couldn’t be prouder to have Annika on our team here at Experea. “GIRRRL, YOU ROCKED IT!”

Special shoutout also to Team24′s national team captain, Roland Hoffman for leading the team and Annika on this incredible journey. It is always a celebratory-worthy moment when we see how local people making a world of difference for those who so desperately need it. Cheers to Annika, Roland and the rest of their team that conquered this amazing feat of biking 100 miles for MS!!
