Motorcycle Ride To Defeat ALS 200 riders raised close to 35K!

It's up now at my KFOG page.



A fun day of riding the secondary roads from Woodside, to San Gregorio, to Pescadero, to La Honda, and back.



All to raise money to help the ALS Association Bay Area who are involed in helping research and resources for the always fatal ALS known as Lou Gehrig's disease.



We rode a Honda Metropolitan scooter:

Facts About ALS



Every single day 15 more people in the U.S. are diagnosed with ALS. That's more than 5,600 U.S. citizens with ALS each year.



The life expectancy of an ALS patient averages about two to five years from the time of diagnosis.



ALS can strike anyone. Someone you know or love may die from ALS unless a cure or prevention is found.



The ALS Association (ALSA) is the only national not-for-profit voluntary health organization dedicated solely to the fight against ALS through research, patient support, information dissemination, and public awareness.



It has been 62 years since Lou Gehrig passed away from ALS and there is still no known cause or cure.
