Welcome to my personal fundraising page for the 2021 Napa Valley Ride to Defeat ALS. This is the 16th anniversary of this leading event to raise funds and awareness for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). ALS also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease, is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that slowly robs a person of the ability to walk, speak, swallow and, eventually breathe. With no known cause or cure, a person can expect to live typically 2 to 5 years from the time of diagnosis.
ALS has no racial, ethnic or socioeconomic boundaries and in only 10% of cases there is a family history of ALS. Today, there are approximately 30,000 people in the US living with ALS and 5,600 people are diagnosed each and every year in the US.
This is my and the Hathaway Dinwiddie Teams 11th year participating in this annual event raising much needed funds for The ALS Association. Together we have raised over $150,000. This ride is an exciting opportunity for us to work together to support those affected by Lou Gehrig's Disease and to spread awareness of the urgency to find treatments and a cure.
I'm asking for your help. Please make a donation, join my team, or sign up to be a volunteer today.
