Fighting MS One Pedal Stroke at a Time with Melinda Thrasher

Melinda started riding in Bike MS in 2014 with her corporate team as a way to get out and have fun. After her 3rd Bike MS ride in 2016, she found herself diagnosed with MS. Since then she has joined the committee to help give back to the community. In 2022 she was named the Most Inspirational Rider for the Bay to Bay ride. It was that recognition of how her struggle affected others that made her become dedicated to being an MS Ambassador and Activist. When not fighting for MS awareness, she is a full time Senior Project Manager at a software company who enjoys gardening, cooking, camping, the beach and throwing flaming axes.  Melinda’s Fundraising Site: Bike MS WebsiteFollow us on Instagram:@allbodiesonbikes @feisty_media All Bodies on Bikes Website: https://www.allbodiesonbikes.com/ Feisty Media Website: https://livefeisty.com/ Tifosi: Use the code FM20 to get 20% off your order at tifosioptics.comFierce Hazel: Use code is allbodies for 30% off at fiercehazel.com
