What's in a Name?
Why Team FoMo?
Team FOrward
MOtion MS 150 bike tour captain, Pat Lynch, has
battled Multiple Sclerosis since 1991. At that time he lost the use of his legs,
so he went with what worked; a hand propelled bike to ride. With burning
blistered hands, he's going after the disease head on.
 "I'm
fortunate that my upper body is
still strong enough to complete this task."
"I don't set any land speed records
with my bike, but as long as
we're in a forward
motion
I'm gonna get there. "
- Pat Lynch
Even through the pain, Pat strives on by riding for team "Forward
Motion." "FoMo for short,"
Lynch always says with a laugh, "because as long as you're in a
forward
motion you'll get to where you're going."
Pat rides to raise awareness of the disease that has affected
him and so many others. He says no matter what, he'll keep on moving
forward until a cure is found.
Here is a great local news story on Pat during the 2004 MS150
that helps explain how we got our team name.
