J.R. Johnson 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. Please consider joining our team in the Walk ALS! If you are not local or not available to attend the walk a donation would be greatly appreciated. If you are not able to donate to ALS, no worries, we understand but please sign up and Walk ALS with us!

 

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 ALS. To bring hope. To raise awareness. To provide resources and services to families free of charge. To help uncover the mystery of ALS and find treatments and cures to end ALS. 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!
