Larry Van Dusen was diagnosed with ALS (Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease) back in December of 2022, after a very long year of doctoring. Larry and his fiancée, Denise Klassy, are members of Pec Valley ATV/UTV Club.
The ATV/UTV CLUB put on a benefit ride and silent auction to help Larry out with medical bills and whatever he may encounter in the coming months. The day was filled with lots of love and support from many friends and family. Thank you to everyone that came out to support Larry!!
