Foodies will get together whenever there's something interesting to eat. But one group of foodies is getting together, and the reason is far more noble.<\/p>\n

The reason? Helping in the fight against Multiple Sclerosis. In this case, to raise money, and ride across Texas in the 2010 MS 150.<\/p>\n

These foodies (and chefs) got together and formed Team Liverstrong, sponsored by Anvil Bar & Refuge.<\/div>\n

For those who don't know, the BP MS 150 is a two-day fundraising bike ride from Houston to Austin organized by the National MS Society. It's the largest non-profit event of its kind in North America with more than 13,000 registered cyclists, 3,000 volunteers, and countless supporters and spectators. In 2009, the ride raised $17 million for MS research and services for persons living with MS. This year, the ride is on April 17 \u2013 18, 2010.<\/div>\n
