Team Bishop 2130 Ride for ALS

As part of our four part mission, we will be leading a 21.30 mile bike ride to commemorate Lou Gehrig’s 2130 consecutive baseball games played before he succumbed to ALS in the glory days of his career.  He was only 35 when he was diagnosed and died two years later.  The ALS Therapy Development Institute is the beneficiary of the funds raised for this bike ride.  This event will raise awareness, funds and hope for those affected by ALS.  Please click on our Team Bishop sponsor site now to ride, volunteer or donate.

Knowing that organizations such as ALSTDI are working on a treatment and/or cure for ALS provides hope to those affected by ALS.  I remember when I was first diagnosed and reading everything I could about the disease, I took comfort knowing someone was working on it.  I was not alone.  People cared.

Knowing that I have such a slow progression, I feel even stronger that a treatment or cure could be found in my lifetime.  I also know that even those with a normal progression of ALS want to raise money so no one else has to go through this horrible disease.

Will you provide hope by becoming involved with our 2130 Ride for ALS?
