Help me raise money to find a cure for ALS!
Welcome to My Fundraising Page
Event: | Western Maryland Walk |
Date: | Saturday, September 28, 2024 |
Team: | Busch Light Brigade |
Often referred to as Lou Gehrig's Disease, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive, neuromuscular disease that affects both Upper and Lower Motor Neurons and slowly robs the body of its ability to walk, speak, swallow and breathe. In a very few cases like myself, only the Upper Motor Neurons are affected and the progression of the disease is fortunately much slower. While the impact has been difficult and life changing, I am blessed with the opportunity to help those where the effect of ALS is both swift and deadly.
The upcoming Walk to Defeat ALS - Western Maryland will be the 10th walk event that I have supported. The previous walk events have been especially inspiring by the funds raised by the Busch Light Brigade Walk Team (nearly $100K) and the fearless individuals with ALS that I have been fortunate to meet. Participating in Clinical Research, ALS Advocacy Days, ALS Outreach, and the Walk events have highlighted the need and urgency for research in finding and a cure for this crippling disease and the importance of fundraising activities.
Please consider walking with me or sponsoring me at this year's Western MD walk event. With your help, we will be able to make a difference in the lives of people affected by this disease. I encourage you to get your friends, family, neighbors and coworkers involved in both raising awareness and research funding for finding a cure for ALS. And a big Thank You again for all of those that have dedicated their help in the previous Walk events.
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.
This crippling disease can strike anyone. Presently there is no known cause of the disease though support is bringing researchers closer to an answer. In the mean time it costs an average of $200,000 a year to provide the care ALS patients need. Help make a difference and donate or join a walk today.
Thank you for helping me reach my Walk to Defeat ALS® fundraising goal!
