I'm honored to be riding my first Tri-State Trek as a member of Crush ALS / Team Bannon!!   I am inspired to participate in this ride as my dad passed away from ALS in 2014 at the age of 76. When he was diagnosed, there were very few treatment options and no cure. I am riding to give hope to the families and individuals who are affected by ALS and I have committed to raise $2,500 which goes directly to the researchers at ALS-TDI who are working tirelessly to develop effective treatments and ultimately end this devastating disease. I would be deeply grateful for any support you can provide. Every donation helps move us one step closer to better treatments - and hopefully a cure.
