On May 20th, We will be participating in the SuperHero 5K/10K Dash, an event designed to raise funds in support of those with living with ALS. We'd love your support to reach our fundraising goal. Together, we can support those living with ALS while spreading awareness of the urgency to find treatments that will lead to a cure.
Please consider the difference that you might be able to make in the lives of people affected by this disease.
Why Your Help Matters...
Also referred to as Lou Gehrig's Disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive, fatal neuromuscular disease that slowly takes away the body's ability to walk, speak, swallow and breathe. There is currently no cure for the disease with life expectancy averaging 2 to 5 years from the time of diagnosis.
Due to the rapid progression of ALS, the needs of someone living with the disease evolve rapidly over a short period of time. Often times insurance does not cover durable medical equipment, so The ALS Association utilizes a loan pool that allows people to access equipment at no charge. Caregivers often need a break, so The ALS Association pays for skilled home care workers to give those caregivers time. The ALS Association also provides augmentative communication devices that are critical when someone's ability to speak has been compromised.
All of these supports help individuals and families impacted by ALS live the fullest life possible, which is why we are inviting you to support our fundraising efforts. Help make a difference and donate today by clicking on the Donate key. Your gift will make you a hero in the lives of others.
We'd love you have you join our team and participate in the SuperHero Dash too (costumes are optional)!
P.S. Katie's "dash" will be a moderate-to-fast paced walk and Ryan's dash may involve jogging :)
Thank You!
Ryan and Katie
