Bobby's Tri-State Trek 2018
Donation protected
He is called "Bobby Bicycles" for a reason...and that is because for most of his adult life, Bobby Forster would spend his days riding on wheels. Whether it was operating a pedicab (bike taxi) in New Orleans, long boarding in his hometown of Beverly, MA, or just beach cruising with friends in Newport, RI, Bobby was always moving.
Bobby Forster (sitting front, center in cover photo) is now 29-years-old and is living with ALS, a neurological disease that causes the neurons that control voluntary muscles to degenerate. Bobby, who was diagnosed in 2014, is completely restricted to a wheelchair and has lost most of his physical functional abilities.
A group of Bobby's friends and family now comprise Team #WhatAboutBobby and we are participating in the Tri-State Trek 2018 for ALS research. We will be riding 270 miles from BOSTON TO NEW YORK on the weekend of June 22-24, 2018 in an effort to CURE ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease).
Bobby, a Beverly, MA native currently lives with his wife Casey in Newport, RI. The TriState Trek 2018 stands to benefit them and the ALS Therapy Development Institute (or ALS TDI) which is pioneering the treatments that may lead to a cure to the terrible disease.
“I’m lucky. I still have a lot of good times ahead of me,” says Bobby. “Live your life to the fullest. Do whatever you want to do each day and make each day count. But still, hold onto hope. There are a lot of incredible people working on research and working on the disease and a cure is coming.”
Please donate whatever you can and support Bobby's Team as we help fund research to cure ALS!
