Sixth Annual James P. Hinchliffe 5K Run/Walk for ALS...

• 5K Run / Walk:- Run 3.1 Miles

In March of 2004 James Hinchliffe lost his battle against the debilitating and progressive disease Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), best known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. The disease had cruelly damaged his nerve cells and caused a slow, frustrating, unstoppable loss of muscle movement over five years. Jim, his wife Debbie, and their two young boys Matt and Dillon did all they could to pull together and enjoy their time together during those difficult years.

Fast forward to the present. Jim’s family has weathered the many trials that a family does after such an experience and loss. Jim’s sons want to honor their dad’s memory in a way that might help other victims of ALS and their families. With help from a proud family, they are planning the fourth James P. Hinchliffe 5K Run/Walk for ALS. The event will be held on Thanksgiving Day, November 24th, 2016 in Glens Falls. All proceeds will be donated to The ALS Association Upstate New York Chapter. Donations from 2011 through 2015 have totaled $50,000!
