This year, I am forming a team for the Walk to Defeat ALS® in honor of my dad, who recently passed away after battling this devastating disease.
ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, eventually leading to the loss of muscle control. Watching my dad face this disease with courage and strength was both heartbreaking and inspiring, and now, I am committed to helping find a cure.
This cause is deeply personal to me, and by joining our team or making a donation, you can help make a difference in the fight against ALS. Your support will fund critical research to find treatments and a cure, as well as provide much-needed care and resources to families affected by ALS.
Every step we take brings us closer to a future without ALS. Please consider walking with us, or choose a team member from the list and donate to our cause or share this page to help spread awareness. Together, we can honor my dad’s legacy and all those impacted by ALS.
Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and support. Let’s make a difference together!

WHY WE NEED YOUR HELP
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.
That’s why we’re participating in the Walk to Defeat ALS. To bring hope. To raise awareness. To provide resources and services to families free of charge. To help unlock the mystery of ALS and find the key to treatments and a cure. Will you join us?
ABOUT ALS
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. Presently there is no known cause of the disease, yet it still costs loved ones an average of $250,000 a year to provide the care people living with ALS and their families need. Join the movement to provide help and hope today!
