Clay-WalkerCountry Music star Clay Walker organized the Band Against MS (Multiple Sclerosis) Bike Team to participate in the “Bike To Jack & Back” event. His team raised over $25,000 for MS research at the ride that took place Oct. 4 & 5. Partnered with the Mid South Chapter of the National MS Society, Walker was thrilled to participate in the ride.   Bikers rode 75 miles from Page High School in Franklin, Tenn., to Motlow State Community College in Lynchburg, Tenn. Lynchburg is also the home of the Jack Daniels Distillery. Riders stayed the night at Motlow and then rode back to Franklin the next morning.  Walker was diagnosed with MS in 1996 and has been working to fight the disease and help others who are living with it since then. Proceeds from the bike ride went to different organizations that support research, raise awareness and fight for a cure for MS.
