Kingston, RI – DiPrete Engineering employees and friends recently participated in Bike MS: Ride the Rhode. DiPrete’s team, the PT Riders, rode a total of 150 miles to support finding a cure for Multiple Sclerosis (MS).

The two-day ride started and finished at the University of Rhode Island in Kingston. The PT Riders were among the top six fundraising teams in the state raising more than $19,000.

In addition to funds raised by the race, DiPrete held its annual beer and wine tasting to benefit the MS Society, Rhode Island.

MS is an unpredictable, often disabling, disease of the central nervous system that interrupts the flow of information within the brain, and between the brain and body. Millions of people are affected by MS and the challenges of living with its unpredictable symptoms.
