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. »
