ALS Therapy Development Institute The 2130

A Ride in your Community and Across the Nation

May 2010

Lou Gehrig, the self proclaimed "luckiest man on the face of the earth," played an astonishing 2130 consecutive baseball games before his career was cut short by amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The Iron Horse, as he was called, was only 37 years old when he ultimately succumbed to the relentless disease. Take a stand against a disease that continues to take the life of someone in the United States every 90 minutes, by hosting or riding in The 2130.
