Putting my mid-life crisis to good use

The annual ALS-TDI Tri-State Trek isn’t happening this year because of the coronavirus. Not so smart to tour America’s hot spots for Covid-19 packed together on bicycles.

But we are having a modified trek this year, and once again, I’m hoping you might be able to offer some financial support. They have rebranded it the My-State Trek 2020, which essentially means do what you can. In my case – and for my other riders in this area – we are planning to ride around Manhattan one day, and then do the other two days in New Jersey, including one 100-miler (why doesn’t Back Roads advertise that biking package?).


As much as we like to talk about all the miles on the trek, what really matters is the money we raise. And the ALS Therapy Development Institute needs money to keep crucial research going. The fact is, ALS researchers are very close to finding a cure for familial ALS – the genetic type that unfortunately runs through my wife’s family.  But researchers need dollars to continue their important work.
 

Now more than ever, there are a lot of needs for your charity dollars. And if you have lost your job or have a diminished income, good luck regaining your financial health. Talk to you next year. But if you can spare a donation for ALS research, I’d appreciate it.
