Song Uplifts Ride to Life to New Heights

The spirit of those who struggle each day living with ALS and never give up hope for a cure has been captured in a new song called "Ride for Life."

The song is dedicated to the ALS patients who participate each year in the Ride for Life, an annual event in which ALS patients ride their electric wheelchairs down the highways and through the neighborhoods to raise funds for a cure and create awareness for the disease. Ride for Life 2005 takes place May 13-22 and ALS patients will ride more than 140 miles from Manhattan to Montauk in Long Island.

The uplifting and soulful song was written and composed by George Linitz. Anglea Workman, who sang backup with Ray Charles for 10 years as a one of his "Raylettes," provided the powerful vocals and Danny Obadia co-produced the song.
