Silver Valley To Ride Against ALS

Cindy Moore’s slurred speech is a telltale sign of the battle her body has waged against Lou Gehrig’s disease for the last five years. But, when she begins to talk about the success of last year’s Silver Valley Ride to Defeat ALS and her hope that this year’s ride will be even more successful, Moore’s enthusiasm makes it clear the battle is far from over. “I can’t put into words how fantastic that felt,” Moore said. “It was outstanding in terms of riders and the money we were able to raise.” The Silver Valley Ride to Defeat ALS, scheduled for Saturday, is a one-day cycling fundraiser for the Evergreen Chapter of the ALS Association/ Keith Cousins , Coeur d’Alene Press.
