Team: | Buggy's Buddies |
Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. I am extremely proud to say that Team Buggy's Buddies will again participate in the Walk to Defeat ALS, this year on March 30th. This is the 9th Walk that our Team will participate in and we are privileged to do so in memory of my mother, Rosemary Kilhoffer.
The Walk to Defeat ALS is the Association's biggest annual event, which raises funds that allow our local chapters to sustain care services and support research. It honors ALS patients, and remembers those who have lost their lives to this terrible disease. Since we joined the fight against ALS in 2011, Team Buggy's Buddies has raised over $69,000 through participation in the ALS Walks!
We owe much of our fundraising success to our family and friends, and hope that you will consider joining us gain in support of achieving our goals.
Why We Need Your Help
Often referred to as Lou Gehrig's 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 an ALS patient averages 2 to 5 years from the time of diagnosis.
This crippling disease can strike anyone. Presently there is no known cause of the disease though support is bringing researchers closer to an answer. In the mean time it costs an average of $200,000 a year to provide the care ALS patients need. Help make a difference and donate or join a walk today.
Thank you for your time and consideration!
