children's fundraisers to help end multiple sclerosis
farmington hills, michigan
Amelia has been a top National Multiple Sclerosis Society fundraiser in the mitten state since she was 5. Now 10, she is still on a mission to end MS in her mother's lifetime. Her mother, Tanya, has had MS since 10 years before Amelia was born. It's all Amelia has ever known. Amelia came up with the idea of doing a bike-a-thon with when she was just 5 after years of watching her mom, dad, and grandpa doing the Bike MS ride. She had three successful Amelia's Little Bike-a-Thon for MS rides before the pandemic hit. She had to pivot to a Zoom workout for two year, but she is back at promoting her bike-a-thon again this year.
WHEN: Saturday, June 4th - registration is between 9:30am and 9:55am with the kids' bike-a-thon being between 10am and 10:30am and followed by a short award and thank you ceremony with cookies.
WHERE: Kenbrook Elementary School, 32130 Bonnet Hill in Farmington Hills, Michigan.
WHAT'S THE ROUTE: little kids on training wheels, big wheels, tricycles, and the like will ride in the closed off Kenbrook Elementary School parking lot while bigger kids will be able to ride around the block in front of the school. This is at a time when traffic is at a minimum in an area that is not very busy at that time of week. Volunteers will be out on the route.
TROPHIES: There will be a trophy given out to the top fundraiser as of June 30th, 2022. At the ride, a trophy will be given out to the child with the Best MS Spirit (think lots of orange).

ABOUT AMELIA
At the age of 5, Amelia Nordhaus sat down next to her mother and said, "I want to do my own Bike MS with my friends and people my age." And Amelia's Little Bike-a-Thon for MS was born.
Why her interest in raising funds for multiple sclerosis? Well, her mom was diagnosed with MS in early 2001. She sees the effects that MS has on her mother on a daily basis. Therefore, she takes her fundraising very seriously.
