Vision Statement
Team Don Austin envisions a world where cycling becomes a catalyst for positive change, breaking barriers and generating hope for those living with MS. By pedaling together, we aspire to build a community that embodies resilience, compassion, and a shared commitment to creating a brighter future for all.
Mission Statement
The Team Don Austin foundation is dedicated to transforming communities through the powerful combination of cycling advocacy and fundraising initiatives for Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Our mission is to create a positive impact by promoting health, fostering community engagement, and raising vital funds to support individuals and families affected by MS.
Through a commitment to inclusivity, education, and environmental responsibility, Team Don Austin strives to build a stronger, more connected society. We aim to empower individuals of all ages through cycling, providing not only a means of physical and mental well-being but also a platform for raising awareness about MS.
Our mission is threefold:
- Cycling Advocacy:
- Promote cycling as a sustainable and healthy mode of transportation, advocating for cycling-friendly infrastructure to enhance community well-being.
- MS Fundraising Initiatives:
- Organize and participate in fundraising events dedicated to supporting MS research, treatment, and community support programs. Every pedal stroke contributes to creating hope for a future free from the challenges posed by MS.
- Community Empowerment:
- Create an inclusive and supportive community where individuals affected by MS find understanding, encouragement, and resources. By fostering a sense of unity through cycling, we aim to empower those facing the challenges of MS and their families.
About Us
The purpose of this foundation is to be the community resource and support for survivors, care givers, family members and children of those living and suffering with MS. Our goal is to close the gap of awareness and research. Thus building a bridge between local residents and the National Organizations and Chapters on the state and regional level. This will increase public awareness in communities that are not reached by the National organizations.
