From August 23rd to 25th, more than 200 cyclists and volunteers gathered at Auberge Godefroy in Bécancour for the 12th edition of the Ride to Fight ALS powered by TELUS Health, the only annual cycling event supporting the Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) Society of Quebec. Thanks to this event that took place in the Maurice and Centre-du-Québec regions, more than $310,000 was raised to provide psychosocial, technical and financial support to families touched by ALS, in addition to funding research on this incurable disease.
Cyclists from all across the province rallied and cycled from one to three days on a distance of 70 to 120km per day with the goal of collecting $250,000 with the hopes of fighting ALS, a disease with a two to five year life expectancy after the diagnosis. “Every year, people from all across the province who are touched by ALS and are hopeful that we’ll put and end to this disease gather at the Ride to Fight ALS. Thanks to this convivial and emotional event, the Society can continue to provide personalized services to families touched by ALS” claims Claudine Cook, executive director of the ALS Society of Quebec.
Since its creation in 2008, the Ride to Fight ALS raised 2,6 millions dollars, which makes the non profit organization very proud.
