I work for the ALS Network (previously known as The ALS Association Golden West Chapter). I’ve been there over four and a half years. COVID interrupted many of our regular events, but we’ve been back to in-person fundraising and community outreach events for a year or so and I figured it was way past time for me to get my butt out there and get out from behind the desk. So today I was at our Southern California Ride & Rally To Cure ALS event.
It was cool (mid 50’s F) and foggy to start the day, didn’t warm up much and the Sun never came out. I’m told that last year it was the exact opposite, hot as Hell all day. Gotta love SoCal!
We had two bike rides (different distances), a hiking course, and a walking course. This is the start of the walk.
That’s a LOT of pallea! If you’re going to cook, COOK BIG! It was excellent!
Lunch
The post ride/hike/run/lunch party with a local band and other activities. A nice day, especially since I really like the folks I work with and now that I work from home 99.99% of the time, this is one of the few chances I get to see them.
If you’re in California or Hawaii, keep an eye on our calendar for an event in your area. We would love to have you there, I might see you (let me know you’re coming and I’ll try to get there!), you can learn about ALS and help us to fundraise for research and helping those suffering from the disease, and have some fun to boot!.
We Love The Stars Too Fondly
