ALS Crusaders 5k

Come join us for the ALS Crusaders 5k!!!

As part of our Foroige Leadership Program service project, we are organizing a 5k charity run on Sunday, March 8th, at Archbishop Stepinac High School in White Plains, NY. This 5k will benefit the ALS Therapy Development Institute (ALS TDI). Through both personal experience and outward observation, we recognize the severe issues presented by ALS to patients and their families. In response, we are raising money for the world’s largest drug discovery lab focused completely on curing ALS.  In order to do this, they need help to get there. We need your help in supporting this worthy cause!  There will need to be not just one, but many treatments to end ALS.  At the ALS TDI, they are not just advancing one treatment option – they are forging a path to deliver the multiple treatments that will end ALS for every person affected. 

We, the ALS Crusaders, hope that you can join us on March 8th!  Come for the run and celebrate helping to make a difference in the search for a cure for ALS. 100% of the proceeds of this race will be going to the ALS Therapy Development Institute and all donations will go directly toward making an impact in the fight against ALS.
