ALS Ride for Life - Run for Donna
ALS Ride for Life - Run for Donna is a charity running event held at Ronkonkoma Middle School in Ronkonkoma, New York. The event is organized by ALS Ride for Life, a 501C charity founded in 1998 that raises funds for ALS research and direct support for people living with ALS.
The event offers participant amenities including shirts guaranteed for those registered before August 1, medals for the first 100 finishers, live online and text or email results, free finish line photos, and personalized bibs for registrations completed three weeks in advance. Bib numbers are required for pickup; last-minute registrants within 24 hours may receive their bib number by text promptly.
Awards are presented to the top three finishers in each division overall and to the top finisher in multiple age groups, including 14 and under and five-year age brackets up to 80 and over. Course options include a 5K and a 1 mile route, with route details available through mapping resources.
The event honors a local community member who has lived with ALS since 2010. The honoree is described as a parent and grandparent who worked with the county department of social services and retired in fall 2022 after a ten-year period of public service. A medical trust fund supports long-term care needs and quality of life. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
