Team: | Team Beck |
This is my second year as Captain of TEAM Beck.
I’m very sad to say that this is our first Memorial Walk for Team Beck.
We were all devastated by John’s passing on December 30th 2022.
John gave this horrible disease a courageous fight since his early symptoms in 2020.
John was very proud of serving his country for 20 years in the Air Force.
John was blessed to have met his wife Kim while in Guam.
Kim was the most caring dedicated caregiver John and his family could have ever dreamed of.
We are all so proud of her fighting this horrible disease with him.
Please join us if you are fortunate enough to be healthy enough to walk.
If you can’t walk please donate to me or someone else on our team to fight this horrible disease.
John would want us all to continue to raise money for resources to live with all types of ALS.
Thank you for helping me reach my Walk to Defeat ALS fundraising goal! The Walk to Defeat ALS raises funds to support those affected by ALS and to spread awareness of the urgency to find treatments and a cure.
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.
