Thank you for donating and helping me reach my El Tour de Tucson fundraising goal! El Tour de Tucson enables nonprofit, charitable agencies (like The ALS Association Arizona Chapter) raises funds and awareness.  El Tour de Tucson is in the 40th year as one of the premier bicycling events in the country.

I have chosen The ALS Association Arizona Chapter to be the charitable organization that I am riding for. 

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive, fatal neuromuscular disease that slowly robs the body of its ability to walk, speak, swallow and breathe. The life expectancy of a person with ALS averages 2 to 5 years from the time of diagnosis. ALS can strike anyone, and presently there is no known cause or cure. 

That’s why I’m riding. To change the statistics. To bring help and hope to those living with the disease. To support the caregivers who help their loved ones fight this disease.   To ensure that no one ever hears the words: “You Have ALS” again!  

The past two years have brought incredible advancements in ALS research, expanded access to care for people living with ALS, and enabled legislation that impacts the quality of life of people with ALS and their families. 

But we can’t stop now! The key to a cure starts with all of US.  Please consider riding with me or donating to my team. With your help, we will be able to make a difference in the lives of people affected by this disease and work to Create a World without ALS!
