About the Tyler Hamilton Foundation: The Boulder, Colorado based Tyler Hamilton Foundation (THF) was started in 2004 by Gold Medal professional cyclist Tyler Hamilton. "The Tyler Hamilton Foundation champions the two causes closest to my heart - competitive cycling and the fight against Multiple Sclerosis. As a young cyclist, I developed physical strength, mental toughness, and the ability to work towards goals that were incredibly daunting. However, it wasn't until I began working with individuals with MS that I learned the meaning of real courage in the face of adversity. This is my opportunity to give something back to both of these amazing communities." www.tylerhamiltonfoundation.org
