ALS 200km Together WE CAN

June 25, 2016 ALS 200km Cycle – Essex County CWATS Route

 
ALS Website and logo are now updated and ready to rock! The 3 fellas are at it again..battling the elements and their physical limitations raising $ for ALS. This June 25th, they will be cycling 200km around the CWATS route of Essex County, along with a few other motivated cyclists. This annual event was initiated in memory of Tommy Wallace, father of Kyle Wallace, one of the runners in the event. Tommy passed away from the disease in 2013. We hope to raise awareness and funds for current and future patients and their families battling with ALS.
