Move For ALS Grand Finale

Back in May we featured Move For ALS, an incredible bicycle journey across the USA in order to raise the awareness of ALS (also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease or Motor Neuron Disease).

In between gruelling cycling days, encounters with people from all walks of life and an unexpected trip to hospital (all faithfully documented via their blog) Augustin Quancard and Saul Goldberg have managed to raise over $70,000 so far.

The boys set out from Seattle almost 2-months ago and this weekend represents the final miles of their adventure. If you are in New York grab a bike and join them all the way to Brighton Beach just in time for sunset and a celebratory swim.

Once again Please check out their site and help in any way you can!

Support ‘Move For ALS’ Charity Ride

We want to raise your awareness for Move For ALS, a mean feat two young men have just set off on. In order to raise the awareness of ALS (also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease or Motor Neuron Disease) the duo will embark on a crazy 2-month cycle ride from Seattle to New York as part of a collaborative fundraising movement for Project A.L.S., the non-profit organization that funds and conducts scientific research seeking a cure for ALS.

The build up on their blog has been simultaneously captivating, tragic, amusing and moving. Now that they are officially on the road they will continue updating us with their unique and personal perspective. Please check out their site and help in any way you can!

Here are a couple of Forrest Gump themed tracks to suit their ambitious/crazy coast to coast journey.
