Ahmed is not one to be idle. For the past 10 years, he has organized a Sobeys team to participate in the Nova Scotia MS Bike Tour, raising about $88,000 in total, including about $15,000 personally and, in 2016, leading the Sobeys Cycle-Delics to three team awards. But that was just his warm-up. Last fall, Ahmed cycled across Europe, covering 4,500 kilometres in 55 days, raising awareness and money along the way. He has done all of this without having a personal connection to a disease he didn’t know existed until 2006. While at a conference shortly after moving to Canada from Egypt, a speaker from the MS Society asked how many people in a group of about 200 knew someone with MS. “Every single person had their hand up except for me.” That was enough to spur Ahmed into volunteering his time and energy. “It’s about doing something more than just about yourself.”
