Thank you for your continued support of Team Phil G. for the 2022 & 2023 walks. We are now gearing up for the 2024 Walk to Defeat ALS in DC on Saturday, October 5th. Recently, I met a family struggling with the challenges of living with ALS. I was reminded of that experience in my life two years ago as Phil fought this horrible disease and passed two years ago this month. Talking with this family strengthened my resolve to continue walking to defeat ALS. Please join me in walking with Team Phil G. on October 5, 2024! Phil dedicated his life to service for others and together we can carry on his legacy. Sign up for Team Phil G. If you cannot walk, please consider donating to Team Phil G. Your donations will help those affected by ALS and help find treatments and ultimately a cure for ALS.
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.
That’s why we’re participating in the Walk to Defeat ALS. To bring hope. To raise awareness. To provide resources and services to families free of charge. To help unlock the mystery of ALS and find the key to treatments a cure. Will you join us?
ABOUT ALS
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. Presently there is no known cause of the disease, yet it still costs loved ones an average of $250,000 a year to provide the care people living with ALS and their families need. Join the movement to provide help and hope today!
