Ride Header - Why We Ride

The ALS United Ride is an opportunity to rally together, honor and remember our loved ones, and support our shared vision– to create a world without ALS. 

 

For Eric...

Why We Ride - Amy

 "I ride in memory of my husband Eric, who suffered from ALS and finally lost the battle. 
Before his ALS diagnosis, he worked hard to stay healthy and fit as he wanted to be around 
while his daughters grew up, and bicycle riding was his exercise of choice. 


Sadly he will not be there for the milestones in his daughter's lives but I honor his memory 
not only by participating in his favorite form of exercise but also to raise money to help others who have the disease."

"I ride in memory of my husband of 36 years who passed away from ALS. 
He was a teacher, an artist, and a bit of a clown.
Let's eradicate this awful disease, rare and random that it is, 
so my grandchildren and yours will not have to face it.

In the meantime let's support those who have it. Ride with us!!"

For George...

Why We Ride - George

  
"We ride for my uncle George Schreppel who has been living with ALS 
since first being diagnosed in August of 2014.
 
This will be our 6th year riding for ALS and could not feel more 
blessed to be a part of such a wonderful event."

"My best friend was recently diagnosed with ALS.
We spent many years together playing cards, bicycling, and walking along the beach.

Over the years, we became like sisters.
When I found out about the Ride, I knew it was something I had to do!
I wanted to help the organization that was supporting my best friend."
