This will be the 16th year in a row that I participate in the Tri-State Trek to find a cure for ALS. After our brother Chuck died of ALS in 2009, my brother Breen and I vowed to keep riding until researchers discover a cure or effective treatment.

Our team Crush ALS/Team Bannon, which Breen and I formed with our sister-in-law Elaine Bannon in 2009, is back again this year with 20 committed riders. 

ALS-TDI, the Boston-based research lab which sponsors the Trek, recently announced it has successfully completed Phase 2 research trials for a drug called Tegoprubart; formerly known as AT-1501, that has been shown to slow disease progression in some ALS patients. All the money we raise goes to this non-profit dedicated to finding a cure.

I’d like to thank all of you for 16 years of donations and especially your moral support through the years. You don’t have to give every year, and you don’t have to give much. For those who do, please know you are making a difference.

Never Give Up!
