AML Bikers for Autism Science Foundation Charity Ride

Grab your helmet and jump on your motorcycle or join the NEW virtual ride to raise money for autism research at the AML Bikers for Autism Science Foundation Ride on Monday, June 4.

The ride will start in Rockville Centre, NY and wind along the coast of Long Island to the Montauk Lighthouse, a national historic landmark. 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, father of a child with autism, has chaired this event for the past three years. “This ride has raised thousands of dollars for autism science over the years,” said Koch. “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. “We are finally at the point where there is more good autism research waiting to be funded than there is money to fund it. It’s critical that we raise as much money as possible. Our families deserve nothing less.”
