Excitement is building at Diplomatic Language Services as Team DLS prepares to take on the Virginia Ocean to the Bay 150-mile bicycle ride. Scheduled for May 30th and 31st, 2015, this ambitious endeavor is not just a test of endurance and teamwork—it’s a spirited campaign to advance research for a cure for Multiple Sclerosis (MS).
