MILES FOR MARYBETH was created to celebrate the life of Marybeth Monaghen and to raise awareness for ARDS. Marybeth lost her battle with ARDS at the age of 36 in 1998. The ARDS Alliance was formed to help ALL those affected by ARDS. The first World ARDS Awareness Day was 8/8/22. August 8th was the day that Marybeth passed away. If you add 8-8-22 together, you come up with 38. 38 is the number of miles we will ride to remember Marybeth and also ALL those affected by ARDS. The funds raised at this event will help the ARDS Alliance, help the ARDS Community and raise awareness for ARDS.
