Revving Up Support for the Autism Science Foundation at the AML Bikers for Charity Ride
New York – Put on the leathers and jump on the hog to raise donations for autism research at the AML Bikers for Charity Ride.
Taking off on Monday, June 13, the ride will start in Rockville Center, NY and wind along the coast to the Montauk Lighthouse. The 100 mile ride will raise awareness and donations for the Autism Science Foundation (ASF) which funds critically-needed research to discover the causes of autism and to develop new, better treatments for kids, teens and adults with autism spectrum disorders.
Volunteer ride organizer Barry Koch has selected ASF as a beneficiary for the second year in a row. This ride has raised thousands of dollars for outstanding charities over the years. “It is an honor to ride in the name of raising awareness about autism. We’re hoping for a big group and to raise lots of money for the cause.”
ASF President Alison Singer will jump on as a passenger to help raise funds, “Am I scared? In a word, YES! But not as scared as I am that we are not funding autism research fast enough,” Singer said. “Having just returned from the International Meeting for Autism Research, I am more optimistic than ever that we are on our way to finding new treatments for autism, but there is still a lot of work ahead of us and we need your help.”
