We are walking for Stacy again this year! He will be with us in spirit and love - and always was so very thankful for the love and support that you have all shown us over these past years.
As you know, Stacy passed away on July 4, 2020 after almost 4 years of living with ALS. One thing he wanted the girls and I to keep doing is to continuing spreading the word and encouraging fundraising participation for the fight to find a world without ALS.
For those of you who have been able to join us on past walks - you know how much fun we have had and how wonderful it was to see friends and family come together for this cause - to show Stacy your support, but also all of the other families living with ALS. This year I want to be able to do that again...our walk is in person in Dallas and Reese, Merritt, and I would love to have you join us if you are able to!
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 ALS and to spread awareness of the urgency to find treatments and a cure.
There have been 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. WE CAN'T STOP NOW!
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.
Why We Need Your Help
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.
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.
ALS can strike anyone. Presently there is no known cause of the disease, though support is bringing researchers closer to an answer. In the meantime it costs an average of $250,000 a year to provide the care people living with ALS and their families need. Join the movement to bring help and hope today!
