EVENT DESCRIPTION
ABOUT
Ride with André Greipel to Fight ALS!

On Saturday February 8th Join André, the Zwift community and Pros alike as we ride to raise funds for ALS research. To help André make this the biggest Zwift group ride ever Zwift will donate $1 for every Zwifter that joins the rides the ride, up to $10,000.

In 2017, pro cyclist André Greipel’s mother Gudrun, passed away after a long fight with ALS (otherwise known as Lou Gehrig's Disease), after her initial diagnosis in 2013. ALS is a brain disease that impacts nerve cells, deteriorating muscle control and eventually paralyzing patients. Many die within five years after diagnosis. Gudrun was Andre's biggest supporter, and now it's up to us to help support him and her legacy by joining him in the fight against ALS. With this ride on February 8th, we’re raising awareness and money to accelerate the pace of ALS research. The donations go entirely to ALS researcher Professor Prudlo, currently conducting research at the DZNE, the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases.

ALS affects 450,000 people across the globe. Whether you ride for Gundrun, or Andre, a family member or a friend, you're riding with reason in the fight against ALS.

IS THIS A RACE?
This is a group ride for a cause worth riding for, not a race.
