Volunteering is a great chance for folks who want to be involved with the National MS Society to Join the Movement without riding. You can still be part of your team and Join the Movement, even if you aren't on a bike! We can’t do this without you. Sign up to volunteer today!

The success of the Bike to Bordeaux is directly related to the wonderful volunteers who help make the event go off without a hitch. We welcome volunteers with a wide range of talents and skills. There is only one requirement: to want to do something about MS NOW.

Become a Super Volunteer! Super Volunteers are event volunteers who in addition to helping out the day of the event also take on the added challenge of fundraising. Super Volunteers who raise $150 or more receive a white MS-branded hat! To register to volunteer, please fill out the online registration form or call Katie Amos at 443-641-1209 or katie.amos@nmss.org.
