The Hill Country Podcast: Alan Peterson on Riding for a Cure

Welcome to award-winning The Hill Country Podcast. The Texas Hill Country is one of the most beautiful places on earth. In this podcast, Hill Country resident Tom Fox visits with the people and organizations that make this the most unique area of Texas. This week Tom visits with Alan Peterson, a staunch supporter of the MS Society, who is riding in his 13th MS 150 to support finding a cure for MS.

Alan Peterson discovered his fervor for the cause when his mother was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in the 1990s. Over the years, Peterson has distinguished himself by participating in the MS 150 ride in Texas an impressive 13 times, demonstrating his relentless commitment to the cause through fundraising and raising awareness. His perspective on the 2024 MS 150 ride routes has been shaped by his experiences riding through challenging terrains and routes, including the hilly and trafficked MS 150 ride in Colorado.

Peterson believes in the importance of adaptability, with his views on route selection influenced by weather conditions and optimal performance. He appreciates the flexibility offered by the MS 150 ride, with its varying starting points, destinations, and distances ranging from 100 to 200 miles, catering to riders’ preferences.

Inspired by his personal connection to the cause, Peterson emphasizes the importance of family involvement in the ride, Though he will be riding solo in 2024, he will carry their spirit with him. For all donors, Alan is pleased to announce a 1 for 1 match to any donation by an anonymous donor.
