Blue Dasher Technologies Creates a Virtual MS 150 Bike Tour

MIAMI, FL--(Marketwire - April 29, 2009) - National MS Society South Florida Chapter has teamed up with Blue Dasher Technologies to create a virtual version of the Zimmerman MS Bike Ride. The 150-mile course from Miami to Key Largo has been recreated digitally, so that those who are unable to participate in the physical tour are now able to experience the ride visually.

Blue Dasher Technologies, a corporate team sponsor, is a leading creator and distributor of street level high-density, geo-coded 360-degree digital imagery. The company's highly versatile images are applied to any location, navigation system, device or map-based application, including mobile devices. Unlike other approaches, when viewed online, the 360-degree images from Blue Dasher Technologies are seamless, creating an experience similar to driving down the street.

"At Blue Dasher Technologies we think it is important to give back to the community," said Michael Reidbord, President and CEO of Blue Dasher Technologies. "Originally we put a bike team together to promote health and fitness in our company. We were honored when the staff at the MS Society approached us to put together this virtual bike ride. This tour will show how well organized this event is and hopefully will also raise awareness and more funding for research to find a cure for multiple sclerosis."

About Multiple Sclerosis

Multiple sclerosis interrupts the flow of information between the brain and the body and it stops people from moving. Every hour in the United States, someone is newly diagnosed with MS, an unpredictable, often disabling disease of the central nervous system. Symptoms range from numbness and tingling to blindness and paralysis. The progress, severity and specific symptoms of MS in any one person cannot yet be predicted, but advances in research and treatment are moving us closer to a world free of MS. Most people with MS are diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 50, with more than twice as many women as men being diagnosed with the disease. MS affects more than 400,000 people in the U.S., and 2.5 million worldwide.

About the National Multiple Sclerosis Society

MS stops people from moving. The National MS Society exists to make sure it doesn't. We help each person address the challenges of living with MS. In 2007 alone, through our home office and 50 state network of chapters, we devoted over $136 million to programs that enhanced more than one million lives. To move us closer to a world free of MS, the Society also invested over $50 million to support 440 research projects around the world. We are people who want to do something about MS NOW. Join the movement at nationalmssociety.org. Early and ongoing treatment with an FDA-approved therapy can make a difference for people with multiple sclerosis.
