I am participating in the Walk to Defeat ALS St. Louis to Defeat ALS on June 24, 2023 in honor of my late husband John Becker.
John led a courageous fight against Bulbar Onset ALS. Please show your love and support by joining our team to walk or donating in his memory.
We need your support !!
Every 90 minutes someone is diagnosed with ALS — it robs a person of the ability to walk, speak, eat, and eventually breathe. And what’s even worse is that right now, there’s no cure.
Will you join me and join the movement to cure ALS? It’s easy to register online at https://secure2.convio.net/alsa/site/TR/Walks/SaintLouis?team_id=402773&pg=team&fr_id=14912.
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 anyone, and presently there is no known cause or cure.
That’s why I’m walking. To change the statistics. To bring help and hope to those living with the disease. To ensure that no one ever hears the words: “You Have ALS” again.
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.
But, we can’t stop now. The key to a cure begins with you.
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 this disease.
