DeKALB – More than 2,500 bicyclists descended on DeKalb and neighboring towns Saturday and Sunday as part of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, Greater Illinois Chapter’s Bike MS: Tour de Farms fundraiser.

Chapter President John Blazek said the organization expects to raise more than $1.5 million, an amount that would not be possible without the teams Tour de Farms brings out.

“Teamwork is one of the core values of our organization, and teams are what raise the most money for this event,” Blazek said. “I know that individually we can do some things, but together as a team we can do amazing things. That’s what I see out here. It’s teamwork.”
