It is with great sadness to report that Malcolm lost his life in November of 2023. He fought a valiant 10 year ALS battle with humor, grace, courage, love and dignity. Family and friends are very grateful for the time we had with him.
We will now continue on with the fight to defeat ALS in Malcolm's honor. This is our 11th year of the Walk ALS. So far as a Team, we have raised $195,018 for ALS Northwest. We couldn't do this without the love and support from our family and friends.
Thank you for helping me reach my Walk ALS® fundraising goal! The Walk ALS® raises funds to support those affected by ALS and to spread awareness of the urgency to find treatments and a cure.
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive, fatal neuromuscular disease that slowly robs the body of its ability to walk, speak, swallow and breathe. The life expectancy of a person with ALS averages 2 to 5 years from the time of diagnosis. ALS can strike anyone, and presently there is no known cause or cure.
That’s why I’m walking. To change the statistics. To bring help and hope to those living with the disease. To ensure that no one ever hears the words: “You Have ALS” again.
The past two years have brought incredible advancements in ALS research, expanded access to care for people living with ALS, and enabled legislation that impacts the quality of life of people with ALS and their families.
But, we can’t stop now. The key to a cure begins with you.
Please consider walking with me or sponsoring me. With your help, we will be able to make a difference in the lives of people affected by this disease.
