THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, OCTObER 10, 2025 Page 13 Ride to Defeat ALS: Our Mission, Our Impact, Our Community ALS – those 3 words I learned at the age of six when my beloved grandfather Charles Bent, a man who served as a definite role model, succumbed to this awful disease after a lengthy battle. Sadly, ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease) has negatively impacted our Malden Catholic Community with the passing of Christopher Snow ’99, Timothy Paquette ’07, and Brother Joseph Comber, C.F.X., Ph.D. Well, for the past three years I have fundraised and participated in a 40 or 50-mile bike ride called the Ride to Defeat ALS, an annual event beginning and ending at the Longfellow Tennis and Health Club in Wayland, MA. In addition, MC has held an annual Dress Down Day, which this year contributed $2,192.50 to our Team MC. On Saturday, September 20th, I presented Ms. Hallie Cunningham, Manager, Ride to Defeat ALS, with our check. Thank you to everyone who participated since together we will Defeat ALS!
