ALS is 100% Fatal
Event: | St. Louis Walk |

Team: | Team Guy |
After my father passed from ALS in 1997, my life forever changed. About ten years ago, I became team captain for Team Guy in the Walk to Defeat ALS to help others affected by amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Known as Lou Gehrig's Disease, this fatal neuromuscular disease slowly robs the body of its ability to walk, speak, swallow and breathe.
Please consider donating to our team. Every dollar counts!
BIG WIN in 2022! (Sept. 29, 2022)
- The FDA approved AMX0035, a new treatment that has been shown to slow the progression of ALS and extend life. Also, it was effective at reducing hospitalizations (by 44%) and tracheostomy (by 49%).
Your donations helped invest in this promising treatment - thank you!
