Thank you for helping me reach my 10th Anniversary of the Ice Bucket Challenge fundraising goal! The Ice Bucket Challenge raises the vital funds needed to support those affected by ALS and to spread awareness of the urgency to find treatments and a cure.
Since the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, we have been able to:
- Increase annual fundraising for ALS research around the world by 187%
- Double our capacity to deliver high-quality, local care in communities across the country.
- Accelerate the development of new therapies and search for a cure.
Accept the challenge and join our team!
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 joining me or making a donation. With your help, we will be able to make a difference in the lives of people affected by this disease.
