UHD congratulates Ronald Brannigan, senior manager of business development, for completing Sunday's BP MS 150 ride. The BP MS 150 is a two-day fundraising bike ride organized by the National MS Society South Central Region. The BP MS 150 is the largest of the 100 Bike MS events in the United States with 13,000 cyclists and 3,500 volunteers with countless spectators along the route and at the finish line in Austin

Brannigan is the founder of Because We Can (BWC), a community of cyclists with MS who have a mission to advocate for other MS patients, spread the word about the MS movement, and serve as a support system for patients and families. Diagnosed with MS in 1997, Brannigan did not disclose publicly that he had MS until 2008, when he was compelled to take action and help encourage others with similar experiences.
