The Bike MS: Ride to the River is a two-day fundraising cycling event that takes riders on a journey from San Antonio to New Braunfels.
Your volunteer support drives breakthroughs in MS research and ensures people with MS have what they need to live their best lives.
*This volunteer position includes First Responders and First Aid volunteers. We do not ride bikes during the event!
The medical support team is made up of volunteers who provide medical assistance along the Bike MS route on event weekend. The medical support team will staff first aid stations at rest stops every 10-15 miles along the route. Additionally, medical support team members will staff First Responder vehicles along the route to assist with on route incidents. The level of care will usually be BLS, but can include BTLS and ALS. Medical support volunteers must have a minimum of ECA, EMT, AEMT, PARAMEDIC, LVN, RN, NP, PA, MD, OR DO; BTLS, ACLS and any other specialty certifications are welcomed. Affiliation with a fire department, EMS service or hospital is not required but some pre-hospital experience is preferred. Medical support volunteers will have BLS as well as BSI items available. Communication is via public safety radio system and cell phone to the event’s Command Center.
