Please help me raise money in support of my Godmother, Janet Linehan. We love you Janet!!
Also consider joining my family’s team- Positive Vibes Only and walk with me on October 20, 2024!
Our sister, Janet Linehan, was officially diagnosed with ALS in February of this year. This came as a shock to us all. Janet is a vibrant person, full of life and spunk. She was an outstanding athlete in high school and college. Until her symptoms progressed, Janet strived for the “trifecta” every day. That meant three forms of exercise daily, whether it be tennis, pickle ball, paddle, paddle boarding, golf, biking, or just plain walking. Janet is extremely competitive; second best is never good enough. She is battling this disease just like she has battled every athletic event.
We are forming this team for one of the greatest people we know. Janet, like everyone else diagnosed with ALS, does not deserve this cruel sentence. Our goal is to have 100 participants on our team and to raise $25,000.00 in support of Janet, other ALS patients, ALS research and ALS caregiver support. We want to find a cure for this horrific disease so the future becomes bright for all those afflicted.
ABOUT ALS
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!
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.
