I am walking for Donna, who was diagnosed with ALS in 2022.
I met one of my best friends Ellie in 2018, and met her mom Donna shortly after. Donna immediately treated me like family and I have been apart of the Lesch family ever since.
It truly is so rare to find pure, good hearted humans who give so much joy to the people around them. Donna is one of those people. Her incredible ability to bring people together, make people feel safe, and cared for is truly so special. Through all of this her spirits remain high and she handles it all with such grace. Please donate or share this to help support ALS Oregon!
For more information on ALS:
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.
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.
