About

In 2011, Lori Hosmer was diagnosed with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis after a short period of odd sensations and body movement issues. In 2012 and 2013, she and her sister Beth Brooks participated in Walk MS. Looking for more of a challenge, they formed a Bike MS team The Hosmer Sisters in 2014. Since then, friends from childhood, junior high, and college friends as well as new friends joined what has become Team Hosmer. Riders have traveled from Rochester, Buffalo, and Syracuse, NY, Laguna Niguel, CA, Louisville, KY, and Austin, TX to ride in Bike MS events in NY, CA, TX, and MA. We love to have as much fun as possible at our fundraising events and training rides as well as the actual event ride to raise money to cure this awful disease!

As of December 2023, our team has raised just over $75,000 via in-person fundraisers, email, and social media donation requests to support the National Multiple Sclerosis Society’s mission to help people affected by MS to live their best lives as they stop MS in its tracks, restore what has been lost and end MS forever. To fulfill this mission, the Society funds cutting-edge research, drives change through advocacy, facilitates professional education, collaborates with MS organizations around the world, and provides services designed to help people with MS and their families move their lives forward.
