Hello! My name is Val and I have been a researcher at ALS TDI since 2010. ALS TDI is a nonprofit biotech lab dedicated to researching ALS therapies (Lou Gehrig's Disease). I do molecular biology in the lab and manage our small but growing zebrafish program. Last year, I got to be part of the volunteer crew, since I was recovering from a surgery. It was really fun, but I'm excited to be back on a bicycle as usual this year!
...
We have a saying which goes "ALS isn't incurable; it's underfunded". The Trek is one of our biggest fundraising events and I am humbly asking for donations to fund our scientific research. You can also choose to help by sharing, passing the word on to one of your cycling friends, or joining the ride! You can also join virtually with our Trek Your Way option, even if you're not a cyclist. You can ride, run, swim, do adaptive sports, walk, roll, jump rope, e-bike, or whatever you want to raise money for ALS research.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT! Much love, Val
