Middlefield resident Daria Vander Veer has raised $965 to help fight Multiple Sclerosis this year as a member of the Cycling Concept Racing Team.

Last weekend Vander Veer and her teammates embarked on a 30-mile ride in the Bike MS: bkm/Steelcase Ride held at Sherwood Island State Park in Westport, CT.

Funds raised through events, such as Bike MS, benefit the National MS Society, Connecticut Chapter, and the more than 6,000 Connecticut residents it serves. 

Fundraising continues through July 15. For more information on the Bike MS: bkm/Steelcase Ride, presented by Louis Dreyfus Commodities, or to donate to Vander Veer or her teammates visit www.ctfightsMS.org.
