Push Your Limits. Fight ALS.
This year, I’m taking part in the 2025 5 Boro Bike Tour, riding with Team ALS to raise awareness and funds for those affected by ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis). While I don’t have a direct personal connection to this cause, I’m deeply moved to be riding in honor of a close friend who lost their mother to ALS. Her memory has stayed with me, and it’s with her in mind that I’ve committed to this ride.
My goal is to raise $1,000 to support ALS research and to help provide vital services to families facing this heartbreaking disease. ALS is a cruel and relentless illness, and far too many people have to face it without enough resources, research, or support.
Every dollar raised brings us closer to a future where ALS no longer has the power to steal lives or rob families of their loved ones. Your support—no matter how big or small—can make a real difference in the lives of those fighting this disease.
I’m truly grateful for any help you can offer as I take on this challenge, and I want to thank you in advance for your kindness, generosity, and for being part of something so meaningful. Together, we can bring hope and progress to those living with ALS.
- Every ninety minutes, someone is diagnosed with the disease, and someone passes away from it.
- 90% of ALS cases occur without any known family history or genetic cause. The remaining 10% of ALS cases are inherited through a mutated gene with a known connection to the disease.
- 55 is the average age of onset with most people who develop ALS between the ages of 40 and 70. However, cases of the disease do occur in people in their twenties and thirties.
- ALS is 20% more common in men than women. However, with increasing age, the incidence of ALS is more equal between men and women.
- Military veterans are twice as likely to be diagnosed with the disease than the general public for yet unknown reasons.
