Iron Horse 4 Miler

The Iron Horse 4 miler will raise funds to be donated to the ALS Ride for Life for their patient services at the Stony Brook Neuromuscular Disease and Christopher Pendergast ALS Center of Excellence. A program that provides best-in-class care with a collaborative approach to ensure quality of life for those living with ALS and their families. Currently there is no cure and is always 100% fatal. A note from the race director:My family has had multi-generational familial diagnosis of the fatal disease, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), commonly known as Lou Gehrig's Disease. ALS is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. Familial ALS accounts for 5 to 10 percent of all ALS cases. This race is honor of my mom, Sally and all those living with ALS and their families.
