Why I Ride

I will be participating in The ALS Association Ride to Defeat ALS. This is an exciting opportunity to support those affected by Lou Gehrig's Disease and to spread awareness for the urgency to find treatments and a cure.

Why We Need Your Help

Every 90 minutes a person in this country is diagnosed with ALS and every 90 minutes another person will lose their battle against this disease. ALS occurs throughout the world with no racial, ethnic, or socioeconomic boundaries.

What is ALS?

Often referred to as Lou Gehrig's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive, fatal neuromuscular disease that slowly robs the body of it's ability to walk, speak, swallow and breathe.

1. The life expectancy of an ALS patient averages two to five years from the time of diagnosis.


2. Every 90 minutes someone in this country is diagnosed with ALS, and every 90 minutes another person will lose their battle against this disease.


3. ALS can strike anyone. Presently there is no known cause of the disease. Someone you know or love may die from ALS unless a cure is found.


4. Caring for a loved one with ALS costs on average of $200,000 each year.
