2023 Walk to Defeat ALS® SW Washington

ZigZag ZeaHawks

In 2014 we participated in the ALS ice bucket challenge, and some of that money went to fund the development and trials for AMX035, known as Rlyvrio.  At the time we couldn’t have imagined that Dale would be diagnosed with ALS/Lou Gehrig’s disease in 2022 or that he would directly benefit by receiving that drug following FDA approval.

Some of you may be interested in supporting the ALS foundation in your area.  Our family have been incredibly helped by equipment, supplies, and support groups from the ALS foundation, including selecting a computer for communication when dad is no longer able to speak.  We’re going to be participating in the "Walk to Defeat ALS" in Vancouver on May 21.  And here in Southern Oregon, we are volunteering for the walk on April 29.

Supporting local ministry and being led by God comes first!  Your love, friendship, and prayers are all that we need, please don’t feel an obligation to donate or walk.  If you would like to make a donation, please browse the roster of participants on the right side of the page linked below and if you see someone who hasn’t gotten to $250, consider sponsoring them as part of our team – it all goes to benefit the ALS association.

WHY WE NEED YOUR HELP 
 
Every 90 minutes a person in this country is diagnosed with ALS and every 90 minutes another person will lose their battle against this disease. ALS occurs throughout the world with no racial, ethnic, or socioeconomic boundaries. 
 
That’s why we’re participating in the Walk to Defeat ALS®. To bring hope. To raise awareness. To provide resources and services to families free of charge. To help unlock the mystery of ALS and find the key to treatments a cure. Will you join us? 
 
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!
