Imagine a world free from multiple sclerosis where no one would receive the life altering diagnosis of this unpredictable and often debilitating disease.  MS affects between 55,000 and 75,000 Canadians with 3 people being diagnosed each day.  It affects not only the person diagnosed but their family, friends and coworkers. 

Now imagine yourself helping to reach that goal by exploring one of Vancouver Island's exceptional wine regions by bike while raising funds to end multiple sclerosis.  Challenge yourself at the Cowichan Valley Grape Escape, a two-day tour open to all cycling levels, which is part of the National MS Bike Tour, the largest cycling event in Canada.  Come experience the beautiful Southern Vancouver Island hospitality, wines, artisans, cuisine and breathtaking scenery while helping raise money for Canadian research into the cause and cure of multiple sclerosis.  Every year, thousands of cyclists pedal for a cure. Join the fight to end MS and register now for the MS Bike Tour ~ Cowichan Valley Grape Escape. This is an unforgettable experience not to be missed!
