On September 20–21, I’ll be participating in the Tomassoni Tour – Cycle for ALS, a fundraising ride through Northern Minnesota along the Mesabi Trail—one of my favorite places to bike in the area.

This event supports individuals in our region who are living with ALS and the programs that serve them. It became personal for me when my good friend Chris Walker shared with me that his father had been diagnosed. Watching Chris and his family handle the situation with strength, compassion, and determination made a big impact on me and inspired me to take part in this ride.

I’m riding to show support—for their family and all others affected by ALS. The funds raised stay local to the Midwest and contribute to initiatives such as providing durable medical equipment, caregiver support, and advancing research.

If you’re able, I’d be grateful for your support. Any amount helps, and it all goes directly toward improving the lives of people living with ALS.

Thank you for considering a gift and for helping me make this ride count.
