My name is Patti. I moved to Cleveland Heights in 1997, and was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis a few months later. In the Heights it seems like most everyone knows someone with MS, and many of these friends and family of MS sufferers have banded together to raise money to fight the disease and to fund programs in our area.

The Patti’s Paladins bike team is a small group of committed people who want to change the world. After training all summer on the streets of Cleveland Heights and elsewhere, they ride in the National Multiple Sclerosis Society’s bike ride in August.

Last year this group raised over $51,000 to fund research and programs to benefit MS patients in the Ohio Buckeye chapter.

If you are ready to ride your bike 30, 75, or 125 miles in August, or would like to donate to this great cause, please visit www.pattispaladins.com or contact Patti Substelny at 321-5024.
