This uplifting and emotional video from News12 Long Island was broadcast last year as a 30 minute news special called "The Road to a Cure." It features the highlights of Ride for Life 2005, an annual event in which ALS ride their electric wheelchairs down the highways and through the neighborhoods to raise funds for a cure and create awareness for the disease.

During Ride for Life 2005, ALS patients along with family and friends, traveled for 9 days and over 150 miles from the streets of Manhattan to the shores of Montauk, on the tip of Long Island and raised almost $300,000 for research and patient services programs.

Special thanks again to News12 Long Island for all their support.

What is a podcast?

A podcast is a web feed of audio or video files placed on the Internet for anyone to subscribe to, and also the content of that feed. Podcasters' websites also may offer direct download of their files, but the subscription feed of automatically delivered new content is what distinguishes a podcast from a simple download or real-time streaming.
