Motorcyclists raise thousands for Multiple Sclerosis
The Iron Maidens & The Band of Brothers MS Motorcycle Ride team revved up with hundreds of other bikers Aug. 3, for the eighth annual National Multiple Sclerosis Society, Connecticut Chapter MS Motorcycle Ride at Cadillac Ranch in Southington. The team also revved up its fundraising efforts, more than doubling that raised by the team in 2007.
