Team Christine is back this year! Ella Siefken has taken over the reigns as the Team Captain this year; please consider joining us for a walk in the park in memory of Christine - Aaron Siefken’s mom and one of the most amazing women we are blessed to have in our lives and miss everyday. We’re so proud of Ella for carrying on this fundraiser in her Grammy’s memory! This fundraiser has meant so much to our family over the last 15 years, it continues to be a time we can come together in her memory and feel like we are making a difference by raising awareness and helping support other LOCAL families facing this awful disease and work towards finding a cure! Thank you in advance for any support you’re able to provide

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 walking with me or sponsoring me. With your help, we will be able to make a difference in the lives of people affected by this disease.
