It's that time of year again and on the 23rd of September, 2023 I'm going to be riding to defeat ALS in the Napa ALS ride. This year, we'll have a team - "My Irish Thighs are Crying". With a name like that, you know it's going to be a good day! We'd love to have you join us, and you don't even need to have Irish thighs to have crying - all are accepted!

On a more serious note, I ride to support research, and to provide funds for care for those affected by ALS and it's sister disease PLS. As you may well know, my better half, Pat Ward-Seitz has PLS so this is a very personal fund raiser for me. Pat is an inspiration to me and to many others. His positive attitude and fun personality make the miles go by faster and we're aiming to complete the 28 mile course this year. Pat will be out on the ride on his super cool motorized recumbent tricycle and we may even bring our dog, Lilly, with us! 

The ice bucket challenge raised an amazing amount of donations, and has led to some really promising research results which may delay the onset of symptoms of ALS. I'd like to help to further that research, and to find a cure! Will you help me? Please consider donating to the cause, or, better yet, start your own journey to ride for those who can't and join me on the Napa ALS ride.

Ride for those who can't. Ride to Defeat ALS.
