In memory of my very good friend, my brother and fellow Outlaw, Tom, for the 3rd year, I will be riding the 200 mile Trek, with the Salzburg Strong Team, this June.
Sadly, on August 8 2019 Tom was diagnosed with Bulbar-onset ALS. The day of his 54th birthday. Tom continued to live his life full throttle, volume up to 11, rocking out until the debilitating effects of this horrible disease took away his ability to participate. The following May of 2020, he succumbed after a 10 month battle. Following his diagnosis, Tom was introduced to the Team at ALS TDI, where they offered support, knowledge and services. Tom was inspired by the research that was being performed, but knew a cure wouldn’t be found before he could benefit from it. It was his wish that the family continue to spread awareness and help raise money in hopes that ALS TDI would someday find a cure. This is the 5th year Salzburg Strong is participating in the annual T...rek and the 3rd year with participating riders. Please help support my effort to End ALS by supporting ALS research at ALS TDI.
