  Dedicated riders for Mark’s Team since 2013:

Mark's Team, pictured above, grew over the years.  Friend, Leon introduced us to ALS Bike Trek MN prior to 2013.  We started raising money in 2013 and as of 2025 have raised a cumulative total of more than $100,000.  In 2020, we rode multiple weeks with small groups due to COVID.  Since then we've added a 10 mile and 43 mile route to the original 28 and 53 mile routes. Will you join Mark's Team?  It's not just for fun, we are supporting research for a treatment and cure of ALS.

Join Mark’s Team September 6, 2025 as we ride to support research for a treatment and cure of ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease).  In 2003 my brother, Mark, noticed  weakness in his hands and neck which progressed to weakness in his legs and his ability to breathe. Tests to eliminate other diseases culminated with his ALS diagnosis in 2005 and he passed away in 2007. Pictured above are Mark and Rita in 2005.  We will ride from Scandia MN and you will find more information at the Hiawatha Bicycling Club ride calendar for September 6, 2025.
