We are looking for volunteers to help run our rest stops for the Ride to Defeat ALS! Rest stop locations include:
Atkinson Pool, Sudbury
Boost Baseball, Hudson
Country Cupboard, Bolton
Acton Business Park, Acton
Verrill Farm, Concord
We will need at least two people at each location. You will prepare rest stop foods for the cyclists (peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, a variety of fruits, and beverages) and give them extra moral support as they continue on their long rides! You are welcome back to the Longfellow Club in Wayland for our celebratory luncheon. Contact us if you're interested in being part of a great event that supports ALS patients and their families!

Mission Statement
The ALS Association (National Office and Massachusetts Chapter) operates under a shared mission: to lead the fight to cure and treat ALS through global cutting-edge research, and to empower people with Lou Gehrig’s Disease and their families to live fuller lives by providing them with compassionate care and support.
Description
The Massachusetts Chapter of the ALS Association was founded on January 27, 1990, to serve the needs of those living with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and their caregivers. The Chapter provides no-cost services to ALS families which include support groups, home visits, insurance counseling, referrals to community resources, durable medical equipment loans, the Care Connection program, education, and support.
The ALS Association is the only national non-profit health organization dedicated solely to the fight against ALS. They address research, patient and community services, public education, and advocacy as they provide help and hope to those facing this disease.
We work together to accomplish our mission. The Massachusetts Chapter focuses primarily on helping local patients and families living with ALS while the National Office focuses primarily on research and advocacy. The Chapter supports the National Office through revenue sharing and research contributions. The National Office supports the Chapters by providing up-to-date information and materials. Our commitment to both helping people living with ALS and their families, and funding research worldwide is spoken emphatically through our Chapter slogan ~
"Providing care today. Supporting hope for tomorrow."
