Team Katie sprang to life in memory of Katie Miller, my beloved mother-in-law, who bravely fought Multiple Sclerosis for 29 years until her passing on May 4, 2006. Witnessing the profound impact MS had on my family spurred me to support others battling this relentless disease. My MS 150 journey began in 2007 alongside a cousin and my employer’s team. The following year, we launched Team Katie, creating a welcoming space for friends and family eager to join the cause. While the event's name and routes have evolved over time, the spirit of our founding members endures, with most riding annually since Team Katie's inception.

​

In 2025, we’re cranking it up a notch! We’re aiming for our biggest team yet, and we’d love for you to be part of it. To mark the maiden voyage of the Kansas City Bike MS ride from Union Station, Team Katie is trading Lycra for Hawaiian shirts. Yes, you read that right—this year, we’re bringing island vibes to the prairie. Think of it as a rolling luau, minus the pineapples on the handlebars (probably).

So, are you up for a meaningful (and moderately ridiculous) challenge? It would be our absolute honor if you’d join Team Katie this year. Ride for a cause close to our hearts, rock the Hawaiian shirt, and let’s make MS wish it had stayed home.
