The ALS TDI Tri-State Trek raises money and brings attention to the work ALS TDI is doing to find an effective treatment for a horrific disease. The Trek began in 2003, when 16 cyclists pedaled from Boston to New York and raised about $30k for ALS research. The event has since grown to 300 participants, raising over 6 million dollars. People ride to see changes in medical science, and the spectators who cheer them on with cowbells let them know they're not alone on their bikes. |
