I'm running in memory of my grandfather, Salvatore Congilose. He was diagnosed with ALS before I was born and was given a grim prognosis that he would only live with it for about 3 years. Well, he was a figher; 17 years later, after meeting all 6 of his grandchildren, and enjoying years of traditional Sunday dinners with his family, he then passed away. I knew I wanted to get motivated and train again for another half marathon and when I saw I could run for the ALS Association, I became truly inspired! I'm getting focused, strong, and ready... BECAUSE I CAN!
I'm participating in Team Challenge ALS to raise funds and awareness to help fight back against this terrible disease. The ALS Association provides much needed patient services resources, funds global, cutting edge research, and much more in order to help those living with ALS right in our community.
Team Challenge ALS is an exciting opportunity for us to work together to support those affected by ALS and to spread awareness of the urgency of our cause and to push for treatments and a cure.
Challenging ALS is important to me. I'm asking for your help. Please make a donation, join my team, or sign up to be a volunteer today.
