Thank you for helping me reach my Walk ALS fundraising goal! The Walk ALS r
aises funds to support those affected by ALS and to spread awareness of the urgency to find treatments and a cure. I am walking in support of our longtime friend Jack Hanson who is living with ALS, and his wife Beth. The Hansons are such an amazing couple and among the wisest and most kindhearted people we know!
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.
