2020 has certainly been an interesting year (to say the least!)… Many of our in-person gatherings have been cancelled or transitioned to take place over zoom. However, we all find a way to get by with the modifications, because this year has taught us many lessons, including being grateful for that which we are blessed to have.

The annual MS City to Shore bike ride has, like so many events, gone virtual. This is a small change that we can adapt to. One thing that hasn’t changed is the continuing need to raise funds and awareness for people living with Multiple Sclerosis in our area.

Another thing that’s changed about the 2020 ride is that I successfully recruited a wonderful young man to ride with me: my son, Harry Epstein. He and Charlie used to be illegal stowaways on previous rides, but now he’s of age and committed to ride. The choice is yours, and there are no wrong answers:

We continue to ride and raise funds and awareness for everyone that refuses to let MS stop them. Your support goes to people & families touched by Multiple Sclerosis who will benefit from new medicines, treatments, programs, studies, services, equipment and other resources provided by the National MS Society. The National MS Society invests more money into MS research than any other voluntary health organization in the world.

 Your tax-deductible donation can come in the form of a check made payable to “The National MS Society” mailed to me (c/o Berger-Epstein Associates, Inc. 3900 Hamilton Boulevard, Suite 208, Allentown, PA 18103), or you can earn reward points on your credit card by donating securely online (Donate to Harry / Donate to Jonathan).

We sincerely thank you in advance for your encouragement and support.

Jonathan, Iris, Harry & Charlie Epstein
