In loving memory of our dear family member, Timmy, who bravely fought against ALS with unwavering strength and resilience. Timmy's vibrant spirit and infectious laughter brought joy to all who knew him, and his courage in the face of adversity inspired us all. Though ALS may have taken him from our embrace, his memory will forever live on in our hearts.
As we mourn Timmy's passing, we also honor his legacy by joining together as a family to form our ALS walk team. In walking in his memory, we pledge to continue the fight against ALS, raising awareness and funds to support research and care for those affected by this devastating disease. Timmy may no longer be with us in body, but his spirit guides us as we strive to make a difference in the lives of others battling ALS. Together, we walk in solidarity, carrying Timmy's memory with us every step of the way.
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.
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.
