Multiple Sclerosis is a disease that randomly attacks the central nervous system often resulting in disabling symptoms such as numbness, paralysis, and blindness.  MS is so devastating because its progress, severity, and specific symptoms are unpredictable and unique to each individual.

Including family and friends, the devastating effects Multiple Sclerosis affect millions of people in the United States.  Team Wanta rides in honor of all our family and friends and all of the unknown faces affected by MS.  Two such family members are siblings of our team captains.

Dan Wanta (brother of co-captain Bob) was diagnosed in 1991 with chronic progressive multiple sclerosis.  In high-school and college, Dan was an outstanding cross-country and long-distance runner.  Since 1996, his symptoms have affected his sight and mobility.

Jennifer Sneesby (sister of co-captain Tyler) was diagnosed in 1994.  Also an active athlete in her pre-MS years, her symptoms, although invisible to those who don't know her well, continue to impact her life.
