Last year, I had the honor of planning and supporting a CEO Soak campaign, which raised $1,320! I was then nominated to carry the torch in 2024, and with your help, I know we can EXCEED the $2,500 goal!
What is ALS? (Lou Gehrig's disease)
- A progressive and fatal neuromuscular disease that slowly robs the body of its ability to walk, speak, swallow, and breathe
- Unfortunately, the life expectancy of a person with ALS can average 2 to 5 years from the time of diagnosis
- Every 90 minutes, someone is diagnosed with ALS, and every 90 minutes, someone else dies from ALS
ALS can strike anyone at any time, and the ALS Association is the only national nonprofit organization fighting ALS on every front. Inspired by the viral Ice Bucket Challenge, the CEO Soak engages the ALS Association and its corporate, business, and community leaders to GET SOAKED once again in the fight for a cure! This event will be my FIRST time doing the Ice Bucket Challenge! In my three years at Maxim, I have been fortunate to meet with and hear the stories of our ALS patients and families in the community, and I am honored to continue to serve and support the families who are and who will fight this disease.
Thank you for helping fund new treatments and find a cure for those living with ALS. Regardless of how much you give, each $1 and your intent to make a difference MATTERS!
*If you want to do more, you can register as a Soakee and get soaked alongside me in September!
