Thank you for helping me reach my Walk to Defeat ALS® fundraising goal! This is an exciting opportunity for us to work together to support those affected by Lou Gehrig's Disease and to spread awareness of the urgency to find treatments and a cure.
Due to the Covid-19 virus the walk is taking a different path. Team members will walk in their own hometown with friends and family. Please video at least part of your walk to share with the ALS page or send to me to share. Please consider walking with me in Eldorado, Tx or in your own hometown or sponsoring me. With your help, we will be able to make a difference in the lives of people affected by this disease. I encourage you get your friends, family, neighbors and coworkers involved!
Why We Need Your Help
Often referred to as Lou Gehrig's Disease, 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 an ALS patient averages 2 to 5 years from the time of diagnosis.
Every 90 minutes a person in this country is diagnosed with ALS and every 90 minutes another person will lose their battle against this disease. ALS occurs throughout the world with no racial, ethnic, or socioeconomic boundaries.
This crippling disease can strike anyone. Presently there is no known cause of the disease though support is bringing researchers closer to an answer. In the mean time it costs an average of $200,000 a year to provide the care ALS patients need. Help make a difference and donate or join a walk today.
Throughout Brian's illness, the ALS Association helped us in a number of ways. I still get calls from them checking on me. This is an awesome group of people working to help those with ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease) get what they need when they need it. Your help will be truly appreciated. Every dollar counts. Please consider donating today. Join Brian's Krewe as a team member and go to your fundraising page and click on the Facebook icon to put on your Facebook page so your family and friends can donate. I need all the help I can get to get our goal this year. It has been hard on everyone financially.
