My friend Janet Linehan has lost her battle to ALS.  While this news has been hard on her family, friends and all who knew her, we are continuing with this fundraising effort to help someone else.  It may not have helped Janet but think of what these funds can do going forward!  I will always think of her as I walk the streets of Sherborn and we will all be thinking of her on the 20th of October as we raise funds to cure this horrible disease.  Thank you for any donation and if you would like to join me and team PVO (Positive Vibes Only!!) please sign up for the walk!! 

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 joining me or making a donation. With your help, we will be able to make a difference in the lives of people affected by this disease.
