Riding with Phil Keoghan

Carie Nolan (MS Society Colorado Chapter President, Michele, Phil Keoghan, and Whit Conant (another MS Board Member)

I got to ride with Phil Keoghan today! Phil Keoghan is the host of The Amazing Race and is doing a ride across America to raise funds and awareness for MS. I have to admit though, that I had never heard of the Amazing Race or Phil until he started his ride. I’m taping the show tonight and will watch it for the first time! Phil has chosen MS as his cause and he’s riding across to support the cause. Despite the rain, cold temps (I think it might have gotten up to 35 degrees) and wind (25 mph!), hundreds of people came out to see Phil and about 40 hearty rides rode with him for 10 miles. I did the bike ride and got to spend about 2 minutes during the bike ride talking to Phil. I told him about my amazing husband Steve and his MS story and thanked Phil for supporting the cause.
