Pacing for the Cure

MS takes away mobility. We help give it back.

Pacing for the Cure is a 501(c)(3) charity that helps people living with multiple sclerosis (MS), ALS, cerebral palsy, Parkinson's disease and rheumatoid arthritis get the mobility equipment and services they can't afford on their own.

What is Pacing for the Cure?

Pacing for the Cure started with family. Jeff's father, Bill Gesek, lived with multiple sclerosis for over 30 years before he passed in October 2017. Mr. Bill G is named for Jeff's father, Bill Gesek. Today he's our ambassador, and the charity helps people in financial need get scooters, wheelchairs, lift chairs, and help with treatment copays.

“There is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a man” – often attributed to Winston Churchill

  • Inspire. Inspiring others to follow our journey with Mr. Bill G
  • Hope. Creating hope in finding a cure for Multiple Sclerosis
  • Believe. Believing in a cure for multiple sclerosis
