Remembering Joanne Wilson in the Walk to Defeat ALS
Event: | Cleveland Walk |
Date: | Sunday, September 15, 2024 |
Team: | Group W |
"The fight to defeat ALS cannot end with me."
These were my mom's dying wishes, and for the 25th time, on September 15, 2024, I will lead Group W in the Walk to Defeat ALS. It is also my 50th birthday. I will have spent half my life honoring her wish, and celebrating a milestone she never achieved. Mom lost her battle with ALS on June 15, 1999, three months and two weeks shy of her 50th birthday. Words cannot express how much it means to my family and me that so many of you have continued to support us.
Throughout Mom's courageous battle, The ALS Association was an indispensable resource to our family. They were the best friends we never wanted to have. My mom did not ask much of others, but she wanted us to help the nearly 30,000 Americans who live with ALS today. Will you help?
Follow this links on this page to join our team, make an online donation, or both. If you prefer to mail a check (payable to ALSA), you can mail it to Group W/Mary Wheelock, The ALS Association, 6133 Rockside Road, Suite 301, Independence, OH 44131.
The Cleveland Walk has moved again - this time to the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo! Join us on Sunday, Sept 15 or, if you can't make it, the Virtual Walker option is still available. And like every year, feel free to simply make a donation. Just click a link from the list of wonderful Group W participants and donate.
Please help me remember my mom and honor the many brave men and women in their fight to end this devastating disease. With your help, I know we can win.
Thanks for your support!
