This fund is in memory of Russ, who passed from ALS in 2017. I wish I had the opportunity to know Russ better. From the time I did get to spend with him and stories from friends and family, I know that Russ was a great man. In September 2019 I'll be riding in a 575 mile mountain bike race and will be using it as an opportunity to raise money for the Rocky Mountain Chapter of the ALS Association. While it takes a lot of strength to complete a race this long, it doesn't compare to the strength that Russ and his family showed. All donations will go to the programs, equipment and people that supported Russ and others like him who are afflicted by this terrible disease.

We need to let people with ALS know they are not alone.  ALS affects more than nerve cells and muscles, it affects families, friends, co-workers, and communities. 

With no known cause or cure, ALS challenges the human spirit and tests the courage of everyone touched by this devastating disease.

However, we can work together to create a Community of Hope that restores dreams and builds courage.  Our community gives strength and hope to our loved ones, neighbors, and friends facing the fear and uncertainty of ALS.

Your gifts will make this possible.  Please click the donation button to the right and give generously.

Thank you for helping us build a Community of Hope!
