I need your help. I'm participating in the ALS Association's CEO Soak to raise critical funds and awareness to help fight back against this devastating disease. Inspired by the Ice Bucket Challenge, the CEO Soak engages our corporate, business, and community leaders to GET SOAKED once again for ALS. On July 18th, I'll GET SOAKED while wearing a full suit and tie!
This cause is important to me as I've had two friends who lost their fathers to ALS. People with ALS can go from being perfectly healthy to quickly being unable to move, swallow, or breathe. It can strike anyone at any time, and there is no cure. The ALS Association is the only national nonprofit organization fighting ALS on every front. Through your gift to the CEO Soak, you help us to continue providing hope and support to those in our community living with ALS and their caregivers, while aggressively searching for new treatments and a cure.
I am committed to doing WHATEVER IT TAKES to help the ALS Association make ALS a livable disease, and I'm asking for your help. All donations are appreciated!
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. Every 90 minutes, someone is diagnosed with ALS, and every 90 minutes, someone dies from it. These facts are why we need you to help make a splash in the fight against ALS today!
