Welcome to My Walk to defeat ALS Fundraising Page -DOREEN MCGROTTY MEMORIAL TEAM

Thank you for helping me reach my Walk to Defeat ALS fundraising goal! The Walk to Defeat ALS raises funds to support those affected by ALS and to spread awareness of the urgency to find treatments and a cure.
I'm walking in memory and honor of my sister, Doreen McGrotty, who passed away from ALS in 2020 after a brave fight. Please donate to honor those taken by this terrible disease and help provide hope for a cure to those currently fighting.
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive, fatal neuromuscular disease that slowly robs the body of its ability to walk, speak, swallow and breathe. The life expectancy of a person with ALS averages 2 to 5 years from the time of diagnosis. ALS can strike anyone, and presently there is no known cause or cure.
That’s why I’m walking. To change the statistics. To bring help and hope to those living with the disease. To ensure that no one ever hears the words: “You Have ALS” again.
The past two years have brought incredible advancements in ALS research, expanded access to care for people living with ALS, and enabled legislation that impacts the quality of life of people with ALS and their families.
But, we can’t stop now. The key to a cure begins with you.
Please consider joining me or making a donation. With your help, we will be able to make a difference in the lives of people affected by this disease.
