Testimonials

"Riding through the breathtaking Pyrenees with Cycle for MS in 2025 was an unforgettable challenge, made even more meaningful by the incredible spirit and support of my Merck colleagues. The experience was a powerful mix of pushing limits, building connections, and discovering the stunning beauty of the region, all for a truly important cause”

“This was my first rodeo with the MSIF crew. Such infectious energy and wonderful support throughout the event. It was a delight to be able to contribute to their wider mission” 

james (2025 RIDER)

“This was my first time participating in the Cycle for MS tour, and it was a truly beautiful experience. Riding 'as one for patients' with the team through the iconic cols des Pyrénées was an incredible feeling. Contributing to the MS cause while cycling alongside patients was both humbling and inspiring”
