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.

 

Greg and I have been so fortunate to have the support of the local ALS chapter since his diagnosis in June of 2022.  We are so thankful for the abundance of resources that they have provided us and the comprehensive medical care they extend to Greg as the disease advances.

This is why it was important to both Greg and I to give back.  I certainly hope to one day have a cure for ALS, but in the meantime, I hope to have resources available to any patients facing this disease to know that they are not alone and that their needs are covered.

 

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.

 

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.
