2023 Walk to Defeat ALS® Portland

Kiss My ALS

Please join us in support of a very special artist, teacher, friend, mother, sister, aunt, daughter, and grandma Lisa Pieren, or as her grandchildren lovingly call her, “Honey.” Lisa was diagnosed in the spring of 2015, she's been living with ALS for 8 years. For ALL of those years, she's needed and felt the encouragement from you to keep fighting. Her community, her support system, her family, and the local Oregon/Washington ALS Association have all been essential to this fight. 

She does not let this disease define her and even though her body has been affected by its progression, her “sparkly” spirit remains strong. It's visible in her appearance—glittery sparkles shimmering in her hair, and you hear it when she laughs.. and she loves to laugh... make us laugh! She is a constant reminder to us all that there is so much joy to be found in the little things, and every day she teaches us what it’s like to really be, “sweet like honey.” That’s why we’re participating in the Walk to Defeat ALS. To bring hope. To raise awareness for Lisa! Please consider joining our team KISS MY ALS in the Walk to Defeat ALS.

Together we can make a difference in the lives of those affected by ALS. Our team is committed to raising money to support people in our community with ALS and spread awareness of the urgency to find treatments and a cure.

 
ABOUT 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. Presently there is no known cause of the disease, yet it still costs loved ones an average of $250,000 a year to provide the care people living with ALS and their families need. Join the movement to provide help and hope today!
