Dick Sanderson Driving 4 Life Golf Tournament - 4.22.10



Golf anyone?  Now's your chance to enjoy a beautiful day playing River Run in Davidson, NC and raise money toward a cure.  One of the finest courses in North Carolina, River Run was designed by former Master's and PGA Champion, Raymond Floyd.

The 6th Annual Dick Sanderson Driving 4 Life Golf Tournament will be held on Thursday, April 22, 2010.

Dick Sanderson was diagnosed with ALS in 2004 and since then, through events like these, almost $500,00 has been raised to support the promising research done at the ALS Therapy Development Institute and to lessen the burden of the ongoing expenses the Sanderson family experiences as a result of the disease.

Driving 4 Life is a multi-million dollar campaign supported by World Golf Hall of Fame Golf Member Tom Watson. Watson's long-time caddie, Bruce Edwards, was diagnosed with ALS in 2003. Edwards succumbed to the disease in 2004. The mission of Driving 4 Life is to find a cure for ALS by funding progressive research. Proceeds from the Dick Sanderson Driving 4 Life sponsorship and participation will benefit the ALS Therapy Development Institute in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Move for ALS - 3600 miles, 2 bikes, 1 cause



Augustin Quancard says it best: "ALS is a terrible disease: no one deserves to suffer it. But with your help I believe we can make a significant impact on the search to find a cure."


That's why events like Move For ALS are so important.  These are just two guys who have decided to make a difference by cycling across the United States while raising money for a cure and awareness of this disease.


The journey starts on May 15 but you don't have to wait until then to show them you support what they're doing.  Go to www.moveforals.com to learn more about them, Tony Judt (the inspiration for the ride) and to lend your support - either moral or monetary.
