HERMANSVILLE -- A group of six men and women are going to be biking 700 miles to raise money for Multiple Sclerosis.

Riders will bike 70 to 80 miles a day from Mount Pleasant, Michigan to Mount Pleasant, South Carolina while simultaneously changing riders. They'll travel 80 miles before switching and plan to make the trip in five days.

The fundraiser is dedicated to a family member who has been challenged with MS over the past 30 years.

"We're gonna challenge MS for you, Grandpa Chuck," said MS Challenge biker John Hunter. "We love you, we love everyone that showed up today. We appreciate everyone's support. We're gonna rise $20,000 for MS, you mark our words...we guarantee it."

If you're interested in helping their fundraising efforts, you can contact Dana Hunter at (989) 205-1296 or by email.
