What if you were told you’d never ride your mountain bike again? The critically acclaimed film ’Evolution’ – released in October 2022 – delved into Shimano-supported rider Andy McKenna’s approach to a life where this hard hypothetical is a heavy truth.

Andy’s e-MTB was the life-changing lightener of his incurable challenges. In the next chapter of Evolution Stories, we follow our Scottish soulful explorer astride his EP8-equipped Santa Cruz Heckler. Andy’s in search of answers to the harder questions in life, hitting the trails with new friends, tracking that spark of vitality to its most optimistic end.

The series shines a light on Overcoming Multiple Sclerosis (OMS) - the unsung hero charity committed to improving the lives of people like Andy who are affected by MS.

In Evolution Stories Episode 2, ‘MS Makes Me’, Andy explores the Tweed Valley with first-time mountain biker Jonny White – cyclist, husband, father, doctor and fellow MSer. Jonny balances all these things with his role as medical advisor to charity Overcoming MS, an organization established to promote a positive lifestyle and help people with MS live long, healthy lives. It’s a lifestyle Andy and Jonny are thankful to have found.
