I am cycling 100 miles this June in memory of my Uncle Chucky, who passed away from ALS in 2009. Every year since my mom and family have ridden the Tri-State Trek to help raise money to stop this horrible disease.  This year I will be riding for the second time and would greatly appreciate your support.  ALS, or Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, gradually taking away a person’s ability to walk, talk, eat, and eventually breathe. Unfortunately, ALS is currently incurable, but promising research is happening every day, like gene therapy and advanced drug trials, that could change the future of this disease. By donating, you're helping scientists get closer to breakthroughs that could stop ALS and help save those who are affected. Thank you for supporting this cause, and for helping affected families have hope for a future without ALS.
