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.
My husband, Rouseau Lee, was diagnosised in late 2019 with ALS. For 2 1/2 years we saw what this disease can do to the body. Lee stayed strong in mind and spirit even when his body was declining. He kept his faith in Christ but knowing the final decision was up to our Lord to whether he was healed. This incredible man, with all his might, lost his battle from ALS June 17, 2021.
Lee was looking forward to the Louisville Walk in 2021. We had plans which would have been larger then our walk in 2020 at Cox Park. At Cox Park we had his classmates from Louisville Central High School, church members from Mt. Vernon, neighbors, family and friends. It was so much love and fun.
But, now I am asking for your help. In memory of Rouseau Lee Powers, please join me to help others with ALS and make their journey better. ALS is monetarily costly and causes hardships for some families. The research also needs major funding.
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 key to a cure begins with you and your participation.
I appreciate every donation and/or participation you are able to provide. Keeping Lee's memory alive is important to me. Help me to keep fighting for him.
Thanks Liz
