This year, I will be riding in my 2nd @TriStateTrek in memory of my mom, @becky_mourey. I ride, because I dream of a world in which ALS can no longer steal mothers from their daughters before their wedding day. #EndALS

Today the R1 Crew remembers @becky_mourey
Becky was an incredible advocate, loving wife and mother, and loyal friend to all. She was a valued member of our team and kept us moving forward.

Always a bad idea to quote Lou when your bad break is trivial compared to ALS...

Thanks to @srfinger@alsadvocacy for their insights on the registry.
Earl Sarow, @RyansMom2, @ClareDurrett for their work on this study.
@MrBeast@MrBeast hear me out- I’m 34 with a terminal disease called #ALS (don’t I look just like Lou Gehrig?). Let’s get your $ toward a cure for a devastating, underfunded disease that kills someone every 90 minutes. You can be the next #icebucketchallenge.
There is a beginning and end to every story; this is the end of my story, but this is not goodbye; it is a see you later. In the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years. Friends and family, THANK YOU. Please continue my fight to #EndALS.
💔 Tonight, my son asked my wife if he could lay on top of me if #ALS takes me away, so he could go to heaven with me. The innocence and love in his question shattered my heart.
Let's work together to #EndALS and ensure a future where no child has to ask these questions. ❤️🙏
There's a big difference between inclusion and belonging. I took Charlie to a new YMCA tonight and braced myself. Typically inclusion programs are not built for us, and we come away feeling like we spent our entire recreational time educating, apologizing, and customizing. 1/4
I held Scott’s hand as he took his last breath. Felt his pulse weaken and hand turn cold. I consider it the highest honor to have been by his side while he passed. But also a curse. The trauma from it will never leave me. But I would do it all over again for him. ❤️

PSA: It is never appropriate to exclude someone from an active role in your meeting because they use eye gaze technology or some other 'alternative' means of communication. 1/3
This is the LAST DAY to order a BeLikeBecky shirt in memory of @becky_mourey! #EndALS
Fun fact: my mom herself helped design these shirts. “Searching for the ABC in ALS” was discussed on a phone call with her approximately 6 months post-diagnosis

#ALSAwarenessMonth (US version) is coming to a close and I have yet to see any national campaigns that speak to a broad audience not affected by #ALS. We need to break out of the ALS Community echo chamber and turn heartbreak into action!
There is just ONE WEEK left to get your BeLikeBecky shirt in memory of @becky_mourey to benefit @ALSTDI. Here I am wearing mine while I train for the @TriStateTrek! #EndALS
I have relaunched the BeLikeBecky t-shirt fundraiser! A few people expressed interest after missing out on the first round of fundraising. Now there are 2 more weeks to buy a shirt to #EndALS and raise money for @ALSTDI in memory of @becky_mourey
