On June 21 to 22, 2025 I will be participating with Allen Storie in the ALS Tri-State Bicycle Ride to fund the ALS Therapy Development Institute (TDI) in Watertown, MA.  We will be riding as Team Thunder Buddy for 200 miles over two days through New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Maine.  Our goal is to raise $5000 for the treatment and cure for ALS.

My care journey started with my dad, Leonard, who died from ALS in 2005.   I’ve continued to care for ALS patients and had a very personal connection last year with a dear friend of mine, Natalie Storie.  For eight years Natalie and her husband, Allen, were my biggest supporters for the Tri State Trek.  I cared for Natalie when she was diagnosed with ALS and watched as this horrible disease took her away.
