I “meet” Aaron through the world wide web via IG (@Man_Of_Multnomah) a couple months ago. I followed and was encouraged at how may miles via bike and foot this dude dominated regularly. It was and is a huge encouragement for me personally to push my limits on the road as well as in the pursuit to Ride x Create.
“It was rare that I ran less than 10-13 miles at a time… I was riding well over a hundred miles a week.”
Nuts right? NOPE, not for Mr. Edge.
Sadly… Aaron was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis on March 6th of 2013. “The last few weeks we haven’t featured an athlete of the week because we wanted to dedicate a period of time to share Aaron’s story” (Further Faster Forever); and that they have.
As I’m sure you could imagine, MS is not cheap to diagnose/treat in any way shape or form. It takes a huge toll on the body as well as the wallet. With that said, Aaron and the very rad Further Faster Forever crew have put together a way that YOU can support a dude that has motivated thousands of folks to push their limits #FurtherFasterForever.

F3: “We are excited to announce the production of the limited edition F3 shirt that you designed to raise funds for your medical bills. How else can the F3 community help support you? A donation perhaps?
Aaron: First of all, thank you for even considering something like this. Even if $5 dollars comes my way from the sale of these shirts, that’s an incredible help. As well as any additional help via donation, I must say this… if you really want to help me out, purchase a shirt. There are a few reasons:”
Find out those reasons when you finish reading this very personal in-depth interview F3 conducted. Although he is living/going through this life changing shit… he is strong and will overcome the limitations MS presents; I have no doubt of that.
Also, feel free to show some love and #FurtherFasterForever on your IG posts along side with a good ol’ #fuMS!
RIDE x CREATE x SUPPORT
