Event Description
The Iron Horse 4 miler will raise funds to be donated to the Stony Brook Neuromuscular Disease and Christiopher Pendergast ALS Center of Excellence. A program that provides best-in-class care with a collaborative approach to ensure quality of life for those living with ALS and their families. Currently there is no cure and is always 100% fatal.
A note from the race director:
My family has had multi-generational diagnosis of the fatal disease, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), commonly known as Lou Gehrig's Disease. ALS is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. This race is honor of my mom, Sally and all those living with ALS and their families.
