Members of the ALS Ride for Life organization visited many of the schools in West Islip School District on May 10 to raise awareness and funds for their cause. At Paul J. Bellew Elementary School, students and staff lined the school’s driveway, holding up signs of encouragement and inspiration. Paul J. Bellew Elementary School Principal Rhonda Pratt presented the organization with a check for $1,750, thanks to the school’s fundraising efforts. ALS Ride for Life will visit schools across Long Island from May 8-19. The organization was founded in 1997 with the mission of raising research funds to find a cure for ALS, supporting patients and their families through patient services and increasing public awareness.
