About Ride for Life, Inc.

Ride for Life, Inc. is an not-for-profit corporation founded in 1998 by ALS patients, caregivers and those who care about people living with ALS.

We are called "Ride for Life" because of our annual event in which ALS patients ride their electric wheelchairs down the highways and byways to raise funds for a cure and create awareness for their plight. During the past 7 years, ALS patients rode their wheelchairs from Yankee Stadium to Washington D.C., and from Montauk Point (the tip of Long Island) to Manhattan and helped to raise over 1 million dollars.

All donations are tax deductible to the extent of the law. Ride for Life, Inc. is approved by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. IRS No. 11-347-9051

Our mission is to raise public awareness of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, assist research in finding a cure, support ALS patients and their familes, and provide the ALS community with the latest ALS related news, information, and inspiration.
