Team Epiphany

Coming together to end ALS, to the glory of God

Team Epiphany is at it again! We are jumping on our trusty cycles to continue the fight against ALS on behalf of the Beloved Community.

Last year we were limited to a virtual event - all of us tracking our miles separately, but this year some of us will be in person on June 26, riding 100 miles that day to raise money for the ALS-TDI. Though not the super challenging 3 day event of years, past, we will definitely be feeling the burn.

Other team members will be tracking their miles virtually on Strava again this year, so we have a very health complement of riders.

As always, we ride for all those who are afflicted with and have lost their lives to this horrible disease, but especially in our community, we ride in the memory of our two beloved parishioners whom we have lost in recent years, Steve Lewis and Rick Marks.

Please support us any way you can.

Current Total: $11,400.00

ALS is not an incurable disease - it is an underfunded one.

In the past decade, I have known, or dear friends have known, several people who have been diagnosed with ALS. For quite a while now, my prayers have consistently included someone who suffers from or has recently passed away from ALS. This year, though not completely back to the 3-day, 290 mile challenge of years past, I will be participating in the 100 mile in-person ride on June 28 - which after a year of COVID restrictions, I consider to be challenge enough! As compared to some chronic and deadly diseases, ALS has remains stubbornly resistant to a breakthroughs. Indeed, no effective treatment or cure has yet been discovered though many promising therapies seem on the horizon. Changing the grim reality of ALS is the passion and focus for many in the research community. And really, all that stands between where we our now and finding an effective treatment is money. So I humbly ask for your support for this very worthy cause - both financial and with your thoughts and prayers - for all of us volunteering and riding, for those searching for a cure, but mostly for those who have been diagnosed with this cruel disease. Let's make a big push against it.

This year I am a DIY rider, which means I am walking! Please donate to Team Epiphany!

This year I am walking rather than riding as part of Team Epiphany for the ALS Tri-State Trek to find an effective treatment for ALS. This year, my friend Bunny Frey passed away from ALS. Her bright spirit lit up the room and she was an inspiration of love, optimism, grace, and humor. Remembering Rick Marks and Steve Lewis, we remember all our friends no longer with us. Please support all our efforts!

ALS is not an incurable disease. It is an underfunded one. #endals

This will be my fifth Trek -- this year another virtual Trek but a real bike ride. I ride, of course, in honor of Rick (shown here on a bike ride we took around Nantucket). Instead of riding the final 9 miles into Greenwich with hundreds of amazing people sharing this terrible journey, I will be cycling in New England with Team Epiphany on a 45-mile route of our own design. In the three years since the boys and I lost Rick, there have been a number of promising drug trials (dare I say breakthroughs?), and we can’t give up! I'm so grateful to all my friends who are riding and those who have steadfastly cheered us on for all these years. Thank you for your support for Team Epiphany and for ending this wretched disease.

Team Epiphany's ride in honor of Rick Marks

Four years ago, our dear friend Rick Marks was diagnosed with ALS. Rather than succumb to the disease, Rick -- a lifetime hiker – decided to hike 600 miles of the Appalachian Trail (from Massachusetts to Maine) to raise awareness tor ALS. Rick passed away in April 2018. That year we hiked the Appalachian Trail with Rick. For the past four years, I've joined team Epiphany to ride in Rick’s honor. This year, with the pandimic in the rear-view mirror we're back on our bikes in person for a 100-mile ride from Watertown MA to Uxbridge (and back). This ride supports the ALS Therapy Development Institute (ALS TDI) the world’s leading ALS research facility. It's a state-of-the-art laboratory in Cambridge, MA. which is conducting truly remarkable research. Because of the passion and focus for many in the research community. All that stands between where we our now and finding an effective treatment is money. So, I ask for your support for this cause for all of us volunteering and riding, for those searching for a cure, but mostly for those who have been diagnosed with this cruel disease. Join us in working to find a treatment.

Riding for an effective treatment and ultimately a cure for ALS.

Three years ago I joined Team Epiphany because I wanted to do something to help fight the awful disease that had affected our good friend, Rick Marks, and to support his wife, Eileen. I started as a Co-Route Support driver to help any bikers as needed along the route. Then two years ago joined the bikers on Sunday for the 9 mile ride to the finish in Greenwich, CT. Last year I biked virtually and tracked my miles on STRAVA and rode a virtual 40 mile route in Concord/Carlisle the day of the event to reach the goal of riding 200 miles by June 21st. This year I've been training virtually again closing in on reaching 270 miles leading up to event day and then I'll bike part of the route we did last year with teammates in Concord on Saturday June 26, 2021. Planning to cheer Josh and Jason on in Watertown too when they ride the 100 mile route:D!
