Let's Kick ALS's Butt!

Why I am participating...


My sister-in-law, Cathy, is one of my favorite people on this earth. Recently, she was diagnosed with ALS. In typical Cathy style, after she shared the news of her ALS diagnosis with family and friends, the second thing she said was,"We are going to raise some money to FIGHT THIS DISEASE!" So, together we are challenging ALS and plan to make a difference in the lives of those impacted by this devastating disease. Cathy's Crew 2022 is a part of Team Challenge ALS and participating in the Jim Tracy 5K because we are committed to raising money and awareness to support people in our community who are living with ALS, like our beloved Cathy. Join us and help us push towards a treatment and a cure.

What is ALS? 

Often referred to as Lou Gehrig's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive, fatal neuromuscular disease that slowly robs the body of its ability to walk, speak, swallow and breathe. 

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. 

1. The average life expectancy of an ALS patient is two to five years from the time of diagnosis. 

2. Every 90 minutes someone in this country is diagnosed with ALS, and every 90 minutes another person will lose their battle against this disease. 


3. ALS can strike anyone. Presently there is no known cause of the disease. Someone you know or love may die from ALS unless a cure is found.
 

4. Caring for a loved one with ALS costs on average of $300,000 each year.
