The fight against ALS has become close to my heart ever since I had a scare last year that sent me to a specialist to determine if my symptoms were caused by this horrific disease. I was blessed that they were not, but not everyone is so lucky. So I’m walking with Christian and Ruthie in tow to do a small part to end this illness and support the warriors who deal with it every day. Thank you for supporting me and the war against ALS. There will be a cure someday. Your support brings it closer.
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, 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.
