This will be my third year riding with our team, Jonesing for a Cure. We chose that name in 2020 because we were, as friends and colleagues, very hopeful that a cure could and would save our friend Taya Jones from an early death due to ALS. It was not to be. Last year, I rode the 90k route alone as the rest of our team members were preparing for Taya's Celebration of Life. Sadly, we did not find that cure in time.

So this year, we ride in Taya's name. To raise money and awareness for ALS treatment for others living with this terrible illness. This is not a rare disease. Chances are, you have been touched by ALS in some way. It's a horrific way to live, knowing that - for many - death is a better option. 

Please support our ride if you are able. Spread the word. ALS can go from terminal to treatable with our help. 

Thank you.
