ALS is a disease that occurs in the nervous system, and it affects your muscles and their function. I want to make a difference to those in my community living with ALS.

Two families in my School have been affected by ALS; their stories have touched me and inspired me to help them and other families like them.

In May I'm taking part in the Five Boro Bike Tour. It is a 40-mile cycle, and I am dedicating my ride to ALS.

Through this account and other fundraising events that I take part in, my goal is to raise $1,000.

All of this money will go directly to Mac Angels Foundation Inc (22-3769685), and the work they do supporting families with ALS.

So please, help families with ALS by donating whatever you can.
