The Ride

The ALS Therapy Development Institute (ALS TDI) Tri-State Trek raises funds for ALS research and spreads awareness of the work ALS TDI is doing to find an effective treatment and cure for a horrific disease. The Trek began in 2003, when 16 cyclists pedaled from Boston to New York and raised $30,000 for ALS research. The event has since grown to a 270-mile course with over 450 participants and has raised over $8 million.

Year after year, riders return and new faces join the fight. We hope your 2019 summer plans include the Tri-State Trek and look forward to seeing you in June!

Every 90 minutes, someone is diagnosed with ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease or Motor Neuron Disease (MND). It is a progressive, neurodegenerative disease that causes muscle weakness, difficulty breathing and swallowing, and paralysis while leaving the senses intact. ALS attacks certain cells in the brain and spinal cord needed to keep muscles moving. Most people survive two to five years after their diagnosis, with an estimated 30,000 people in the US and 450,000 worldwide living with the disease. Currently, there is no effective treatment nor cure.
