FUNDRAISING OPPORTUNITY TO SUPPORT ALS (Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis)
Again this year, the 5K will honor David Leys Jr,. a native islander who has been a force behind the race from its inception, and a great supporter of NBS. NBS teamed up with the Rhode Island Chapter of the ALS Association to raise funds for ALS research and supporting Rhode Island families affected by ALS in David's name, having been diagnosed with ALS himself over a year ago.
