💬 A Note from the Race Director

My family has had multi-generational familial diagnosis of the fatal disease, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), commonly known as Lou Gehrig's Disease. ALS is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. Familial ALS accounts for 5 to 10 percent of all ALS cases. This race is in honor of my mom, Sally and all those living with ALS and their families.

• Personal Connection: Multi-generational familial diagnosis.
• What is ALS: A progressive neurodegenerative disease.
• Impact: Affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord.
