Help me raise money to find a cure for ALS!
Welcome to My Fundraising Page
Event: | Tri-Cities Walk |
Date: | Saturday, April 27, 2024 |
Team: | Keep Moving |
I have been struggling with ALS since the spring of 2022. This is a horrible debilitating disease that slowly takes away not only your independence but the ability to do the things you love. It puts the burden on the family and friends around you to assist you to do things that once came naturally and once took for granted. These are simple things such as getting dressed in the morning to feeding yourself. I know that my life changes daily, and I thank God each day for the things I can do that day because I might not be able to do them the next day. So, we ask you to come alongside us to help raise money to find a cure for this disease as it would change many lives. My motto in my journey is “Keep Moving”. So, help us to Keep Moving by helping us raise money to fight this disease at the annual ALS walk in Kingsport Tennessee.
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.
