| This incredible event, now in its Seventh year, is designed to raise money to end ALS. Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), or Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a neurodegenerative disorder that paralyzes the body but leaves the mind intact. Those who are diagnosed with ALS live on average between two and five years. There is no cure; an ALS diagnosis is a death sentence. I’m riding to try to help change this. I proudly support the efforts of the world’s leading ALS research facility, the ALS Therapy Development Institute. ALS TDI operates the world's largest ALS research center in a state-of-the-art laboratory in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The Institute is driven by a single, profoundly important goal: to discover viable treatments for ALS as quickly as possible. I have committed to a) raise at least $1,800.00, and b) to train my body to cycle 270 miles in three days. The course is difficult and my training is intensive and time consuming, but ALS demands our attention and I will do all I can to help. I’m asking for your help as well.
