Napa Valley Ride to Defeat ALS and Walk -- Fundraiser

Once again, I will be leading Team Cohen in The ALS Association’s Ride and Walk to Defeat ALS that takes place in beautiful Napa Valley on September 28th. As many of you know, our friend Lori Cohen lost her battle and her life to this terrible disease in May.

The ALS Association has positively impacted those suffering with ALS/Lou Gehrig’s disease in our community. The money our cycling team raises will help The ALS Association lead the way in global research, provide assistance for people with ALS through a nationwide network of chapters, coordinate multidisciplinary care through certified clinical care centers, and foster government partnerships. Together, we can help The ALS Association build hope and enhance quality of life while aggressively searching for new treatments and a cure.

I am seeking members to join my team, volunteer and donations to support the research, lobbying and care provided on behalf of patients of Lou Gehrig’s Disease/ALS by The ALS Association.  You can ride a 100 Mile, 62 Mile or a 25 Mile Challenge or a 10 Mile Family Fun Ride or do the walk. If you would like to join my team,visit https://secure2.convio.net/alsa/site/TRR/Events/GoldenWest/1249467167?pg=ptype&fr_id=9000 or contact me directly via phone/text @ 415-717-3138 or email at stevens.jennifer@comcast.net. Those of you that would like to participate by making a donation of any amount may use a credit card online at https://secure2.convio.net/alsa/site/Donation2?idb=597771720&df_id=25480&FR_ID=9000&PROXY_ID=3455578&PROXY_TYPE=20&25480.donation=form1.
