Ugalde Trucking Raises over $7,500 to Fight Multiple Sclerosis

Chances are that you probably know someone who has MS (multiple sclerosis). What you may not know is that multiple sclerosis is an unpredictable disease affecting more than 400,000 Americans. Multiple sclerosis is a chronic, unpredictable and often disabling disease that attacks the central nervous system. Symptoms may be mild, such as numbness in the limbs, or severe, such as paralysis or loss of vision. More than 200 new cases of MS are diagnosed each week in the United States alone. The cause and cure of MS are not known, and an effective treatment remains elusive. 

On October 13,2007 Dan Ugalde participated in the 2007 MS Bay to Bay bike ride to raise money for multiple sclerosis.  The ride has raised over 3 million dollars and counting.  Ugalde Trucking raised $7,515 through the generous contributions of our subhaulers.   Forty percent of all money raised from events such as the MS 150 goes directly to the National MS Society to fund research and national programs. Sixty percent stays here within the Pacific South Coast Chapter, which serves the Orange, San Diego and Imperial Counties. Thank you to all of our generous subhaulers who contributed donations for this wonderful cause!

Dan has participated in this ride for more than 10 years and plans on continued participation into the future.  In 2007, we will increase our fundraising goals and hopefully have some new riders.
