ALS Walk - Oct 17
"We the Able"
Like many of you I have come to view club rides as very important events in my life. I look forward to the Tuesday and Thursday group rides and the more informal, but just as fun rides with the club or with friends on weekends and of course the Century.I was introduced into the RBC in 2006 by a friend, Bob Hall. Bob's and my sons played youth soccer from an early age until they graduated from high school in 2006. Bob and I rode our first centuries together in 2007 and he helped a guy who had not trained for hills survive a course he was not ready for.
In 2009 Bob was diagnosed with ALS, or Lou Gehrig's disease. He stopped riding early that year, but volunteered for and helped at the 2009 Century (see Bob at left of picture).
Bob has formed a team to participate in the ALS walk on October 17th in DC and asked me to join his team. I have gladly accepted and extend the same offer to you - to join in the walk as part of Team Bob and/or to donate to the cause. Why? Because We The Able can.
If you are inclined to donate, the link to my web site is http://web.alsa.org/site/TR/Walks/DistrictofColumbia?px=2829285&pg=personal&fr_id=6613
Team Bob is located at http://web.alsa.org/site/TR/Walks/DistrictofColumbia?pg=team&fr_id=6613&team_id=184893
If you have questions feel free to reach out to me at 703-709-9327 or at edshanahan@aol.com. And you can catch me on Tue and Thurs (I am easy to catch - I am a Group 5'er).
Thank you for the consideration,
