253 for AMC

Marshall Johnson was born with a rare condition called Arthrogryposis Mutiplex Congenita (AMC). Sport and movement have always been Marshall’s therapy: physically, mentally, spiritually. In 2022 he cycled 253 miles from Burlington, Vermont to Portland, ME, creating awareness and raising funds along the way. Now an annual bike ride and fundraiser, “253 for AMC” recognizes our differences … and celebrates them!

Every dollar raised goes to AMCSI, a 501 (c)(3) serving as one of the leading centers of support globally for those impacted by Arthrogryposis. On behalf of the entire organization, we thank you for your interest and generosity – your support makes our work possible.

Mountain Biking to 253

We’re gearing up for the Fourth Annual 253 for AMC Fundraiser & Awareness Campaign & this year, we’re hitting the trails on mountain bikes!

In past years, our incredible riders have cycled a whopping 253 miles over several days to support AMCSI. This time, we’re switching things up with a brand-new twist: 53 miles of mountain biking over 2 days, surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of Sugarloaf and Bigelow Mountain in Franklin County, Maine.

Whether you love riding bikes or just want to be part of the good vibes, there will be exciting ways for both riders and non-riders to get involved.

Mark your calendars!
Dates are set for October 10-12, 2025 for the Maine ride.

Our goal = 53 miles of mountain biking over 4 sessions in Carrabassett Valley, Maine:
• 1 Friday afternoon
• 2 Saturday
• 1 Sunday morning
