Thank you for helping us reach our fundraising goal! Together we can make a difference in the lives of those affected by ALS. This debilitating disease has had a direct impact on the Orange County Parrot Head Club. Our long time club member, Debi Stephens, suffered with ALS and ultimately lost her battle to the disease.
The Orange County Parrot Head Club now joins Debi's family and friends as we continue to support the battle against ALS, in her memory. Thank you all for helping us fight this terrible disease and join in our walk in memory of Debi.
Our team is committed to raising money to support people in our community with ALS and spread awareness of the urgency to find treatments and a cure. Please consider joining our team in the Walk to Defeat ALS® or choose a team member from the list and donate to our cause.

ABOUT ALS
Amyotrophiclateral 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. 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!
