Ride for Life 2006
Ride for Life started in 1998 when a small group of patients rode their electric wheelchairs over 350 miles from Yankee Stadium to Washington D.C. to call attention to ALS and the needs of those living with the disease.
Ride for Life 2006 began on Friday, April 28th aboard the U.S.S. Intrepid in Manhattan and concluded on Sunday, May 7th in Montauk, on the tip of Long Island. ALS patients, joined by family and friends, rode their electric wheelchairs for 10 days and over 150 miles to once again call attention the disease and raise funds for a cure.
Over the past 8 years, Ride for Life has raised nearly $2 million dollars to help researchers find a cure and to provide much needed patient services.
