I would like you to meet an amazing person! This is my sister in law, Mary. She has spent her adult life serving others. Always busy with 4H, Junior Achievement, Habitat For Humanity...Always busy. Mary is smart, funny and full of life with an amazing attitude. But, ALS is robbing her of these things. Unable to speak, Mary continues to use her written words of encouragement and gratitude for others. l am proud to be one of Mary's Minions on the  ALS walk  I walk for Mary, Bob, Phil and others who are battling this horrible disease  

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.
