Thank you immensely for your support in achieving our fundraising target! With our collective efforts, we're poised to bring about meaningful change in the lives of individuals impacted by ALS. Unfortunately, due to adverse weather conditions, we've had to reschedule our "Just off the Beach Pizza" party. Rest assured, every contribution received directly aids the ALS Association, supporting the Walk to Defeat ALS and offering assistance to local families in Florida. Your generous donations are deeply appreciated. Remember, even though the walk has concluded, our fundraising endeavors persist!
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!
