Location: Bear Valley Springs Equestrian Center

💔➡️❤️ "RIDE WITH PURPOSE. RIDE FOR SARA." ❤️➡️💔 When Fred Nilson lost his beloved wife Sara to Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) in April 2023 after 34 years of marriage, he faced an impossible choice: let grief consume him, or honor her memory by fighting for others facing the same battle.
"She was vibrant, compassionate, and loved by all who knew her. This ride is in her honor, and in support of those still fighting."
He chose love. He chose action. He chose to RIDE.

💔 THE DEVASTATING TRUTH ABOUT MSA 💔
Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) affects:
Balance & movement
Blood pressure & sleep
Autonomic body function
THE BRUTAL REALITY:
⏰ "Most patients lose their battle within seven years of diagnosis"
💔 NO CURE exists
💔 NO known genetic cause
💔 FEW treatment options
🔇 It is relentless—families get a diagnosis with virtually no hope
"But together, we can push for change."
🌟 WHY SARA'S RIDE MATTERS 🌟
"Our annual trail ride is more than a ride—it is a rally for awareness and a call to action."
