Join Mark’s Team September 19, 2020 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. Elimination of 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 19.
