Hello friends and family!
Thank you for helping us reach our fundraising goal this year. Together we can make a difference in the lives of those affected by ALS. From the beginning of Jules' ALS diagnosis, the ALS Association has played a role in supporting our family in very direct ways. From taking advantage of their lending closet for wheelchairs and equipment, to information & resources, to community connections and beyond.
This year, they asked Jules' to be their Community Ambassador, he said yes without hesitation. Jules understands the importance of raising his voice and sharing his motivated spirit on behalf of all the other brave people currently living with ALS.
We always choose to live Right Here, Right Now.
Team High Octane is committed to raising money to support people in our community with ALS and spread awareness of the urgency to find treatments and a cure. Please consider joining our team in the Walk to Defeat ALS® or choose a team member from the list and donate to our cause.

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!
