Sponsor Me In The Walk to D'Feet ALS!  I WILL MATCH EVERY CONTRIBUTION DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR!

Thank you for your interest in helping me reach my Walk to D'Feet ALS® fundraising goal! I became involved in this wonderful organization after my dad, James H. Copeland, passed away from this horrible and currently uncureable disease.  This is an exciting opportunity for us to work together to support those affected by ALS and to spread awareness of the urgency to find treatments and a cure.

The need for fundraising has become more real again, due to my dear Downey High School friend, Stacey Shuck Tescier currently fighting this disease.  (Update - Stacey passed on Sept. 30th, 2020 - please send prayers for comfort to her family.)

This year, I will be proudly walking with over 65,000 patients, men, women, and children in order to raise funds in support of nationally driven cutting-edge ALS research and community-based patient services programs. This year marks the 10th year that The ALS Association has been working to fight ALS through their Walk to D?Feet ALS® program. Since this program began, over $50 million dollars has been raised.  I am also the Registration Chairman again this year, so please come visit me at the Reg Booth!!

Why We Need Your Help

Every 90 minutes a person in this country is diagnosed with ALS and every 90 minutes another person will lose their battle against this disease. ALS occurs throughout the world with no racial, ethnic, or socioeconomic boundaries. If you choose to walk with me, you will be a part of an exciting, empowering event for patients, family members, friends, companies and organizations across the country; all of whom are walking to support comprehensive patient service programs and leading-edge ALS research.

Not only do proceeds from the Walk go to services that improve the day-to-day lives of ALS patients and their loved ones, but the money we fundraise is directed toward programs that look to the future. Promising research indicates that we are getting closer to finding treatment options and scientists are hopeful that a cure will one day be discovered.

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 ALS. I hope and pray there will come a day when no child, parent, wife, husband, sister, brother, or friend ever has to deal with this disease.  I encourage you get your friends, family, neighbors and coworkers involved!

I hare to ask for donations, so want you do know I'll match every donor, dollar for dollar!  Thank you for visiting my walk site.

With Love, Hugs and Gratefulness,

Brenda
