Raising awareness about ALS has been one of our most important causes, ever since our friend Steve Saling was diagnosed with ALS back in 2006. Until then, we hadn't been touched by ALS personally and we struggled to find opportunities to show our support. We stumbled upon the Trek in 2007 and the rest is history.
In the more than 15 years we've been riding, the team of passionate, beer-loving knuckleheads we brought together has grown exponentially and raised over $600,000 for ALS research to date, thanks in large part to our exceptionally generous community of supporters.
We feel strongly that ALS is not an incurable disease, it is merely an underfunded one. While events like the ice-bucket challenge helped bring greater awareness of the disease, those living with ALS and the researchers at ALS TDI need our support to find a cure more than ever.

If you’re able to donate this year, any amount helps, and we are truly grateful for your support of a cause that means so much to us.
Many thanks,
Gabe and Adam Cohen
