CONNOR MCILWRAITH COMPLETES RIDE FOR MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS
A Journey of Strength
At Studio Cong, we’re always inspired by stories of perseverance, community, and impact. We are proud to highlight a truly remarkable achievement by Connor McIlwraith, who recently completed a challenging ride for Multiple Sclerosis (MS).
A Ride Fueled by Purpose
Connor joined hundreds of dedicated cyclists in a powerful demonstration of commitment to ending MS. Covering over 200 kilometers in approximately 8 hours, this endurance feat required both physical and mental fortitude. More importantly, the event raised over $550,000 to support MS research and patient care—a phenomenal outcome that will have a lasting impact.
A Night of Inspiration and Insight
The ride wasn’t just about the miles; it was also about raising awareness and fostering connections. The evening brought together keynote speakers, including researchers from the University of Calgary and patients from the Rockyview General Hospital who participated in the ride. They shared moving stories of how research advancements directly impact lives, illustrating how every dollar raised brings tangible improvements to the MS community. It was a deeply emotional and motivating experience for everyone in attendance.
The Power of Community
Connor’s experience wasn’t all effort and intensity—there was plenty of camaraderie and celebration, too. The post-ride festivities, including a lively beer garden and party in Olds, offered a joyful capstone to a day filled with purpose.
As a proud member of the Studio Cong tattoo family, Connor’s strength and determination reflect the creativity, passion, and resilience that define our community. We are thrilled to celebrate his success and inspired by his unwavering commitment to this important cause.
Looking Ahead
While the official race photos from MS Canada are still pending, Connor has promised to share images from the event, including some of his own captures. These visuals will add another layer of storytelling to this amazing journey—stay tuned!
