About

“This ride is about raising money and bringing attention to the work we’re doing to find a cure for a
horrific disease,” says Sean Scott, President of the ALS Therapy Development Institute (ALS TDI), a
nonprofit biotechnology company in Cambridge, Mass. and the beneficiary of this three-day fundraiser. “The people who participate in the Trek do it to support the research we do here. They ride because they want to see changes in medical science, and the spectators who cheer them on and ring those cowbells let them know they're not alone on their bikes.”This summer the seventh annual Tri-State Trek will cycle 270 miles from Newton, Mass, to White Plains, NY, raising money and making noise to end amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
The Trek has ridden the Boston to New York route since 2003. Growing from 16 riders to 185 riders
mainly through word of mouth, the event has so far raised $1.2 million. Hoping to see 225 on bikes this year, organizers are looking for more riders, more volunteers, and More Cowbell!
