It's time again! Help us meet our fundraising goal in honor of our mom, Mary Chalfant.
Mom was diagnosed with ALS in 2013 after experiencing sudden and persistent slurred speech. Just 18 months after her Bulbar onset ALS diagnosis and after losing her ability to speak or move, we lost mom to this nightmarish disease.
As we continue on without her, we channel some her goodness toward helping others through raising funds each year for the Walk to Defeat ALS.
With your help, we can continue to crush our fundraising goal - bringing more hope to those still affected with this terrifying disease.
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.
Every little bit helps us meet our fundraising goal!
Thank you for your support!
(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)
