This has been a steady start to training for for my 7th ALS TDI Tri-State Trek. Past injuries have had an ongoing impact though I am feeling stronger every day and am looking forward to a new format and riding with my Team Bannon Crush ALS teammates and all of the other participants and volunteers.

I plan to ride 200-miles over two days in memory of family and friends that died of ALS, to honor those that are fighting the disease and find effective patient treatments and most importantly a discover a cure.

This is the toughest athletic event I've completed. I'm thrilled that my partner Maura McNulty and athlete extraordinare will be ride again this year after a gruelling ride last year. 

...

I'm excited to ride new routes this year  travelling from Durham NH to Maine and Massechusettes with the hope of helping the ALS Therapy Development Institute (ALSTDI) find a cure for ALS.

ALS TDI is at the leading edge of research and drug they developed that is moving on to broader human trials.

I ride and fundraise because ALS has had a dramatic impact on my family for generations, including another immediate family member being diagnosed in the past year.  The insidious disease claimed my mother Mary Flynn Rooney, brother John Flynn Rooney and aunt Agnes Flynn McCoy and continues to have an impact on my family and likely will for generations until a cure is found.

Matt Creen, my brother EJ's brother-in-law, is valiantly battling the disease. In May of 2020 we lost an amazing ALS Advocate my sister-in-law Meg Clarke Rooney (my brother John’s wife).

I have a goal of raising $5,000 and would be thrilled to exceed that. I remain a happy member of Team Bannon Crush ALS who has raised over $1 million dollars since its 2009 inception in memory of Chuck Bannon.  

With your support we can Crush ALS.

Thank you, Love

Tim
