I want to contribute to a future without ALS, which is why I'm gearing up for the Revolution Ride on September 25, 2022 in Dundas, Ontario.
Once again, I am riding for my dad. Last year, I rode 90km and climbed
over 1000m in elevation starting from Mountain Trout House Marina and biking
around Lake of Bays. Our team, Al's Pals, managed to raise over $80,000
for ALS Canada! None of this would have been possible with out the
incredible support of so many of you who made donations, those who trained with
me, or the Mountain Trout House team for generously offering up their time and
space for our efforts. The outpouring of support we received is a true
testament to the impact my dad has in every community he is apart of.
Unfortunately, my dad's progression has been much faster than we had initially
expected. By the time of the ride last year he was almost permanently in
a wheelchair and by early November he required a bi-pap to assist with his
breathing. ALS Canada and the ALS community have been tremendous
resources for our family in providing equipment and emotional support as we
continue to navigate and adapt to the daily challenges that this disease
brings.
I know many of you supported me last year with incredible results - any
amount you can give will go a long way to help individuals and families who are
struggling with this terrible disease. Please see below for more on ALS and how
to make a donation. Thank you for your support.
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (also known as ALS, Lou Gehrig's disease, or motor neuron disease) is a disease that gradually paralyzes a person as their brain is no longer able to communicate with muscles that they are typically able to move at will. As the muscles of the body break down, someone living with ALS will lose the ability to walk, talk, eat, swallow, and eventually breathe.
