4th Annual Off-Road Benefit Ride

Jacob, now 26 years old, is one of the the youngest West Virginians living with ALS. On March 16, 2022, Jacob was diagnosed with ALS. His diagnosis is a very aggressive genetic version caused by a FUS gene mutation. The life expectancy of this ALS version is 1 to 3 years, however, In May of last year, we began participation in a clinical trial at The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH. OSU is on the front lines of developing some incredible treatments which target these specific gene mutations.

We need your help!

We at TeamJacobWV are organizing our fourth annual “Wheelin’ for ALS” off-road adventure. We are raising AWARENESS and FUNDS to help support the study of affective ALS treatments, including Non-Placebo Clinical Trials, Patient Assistance Funds, and an ADA Van Program sponsored by Racing for ALS.

Efforts are underway to gather sponsors for funding this year’s event, which includes a full day at the Sanderson off-road trail in Charleston, WV. Additionally, all riders will receive a custom event T-shirt with YOUR business logo printed on the back, #TeamJacobWV Wristbands, and a Unique event sticker. 

Jacob is an avid outdoorsman who loves off-roading, hunting, and pretty much any activity that involves being outside! Your donation is greatly appreciated.
