I walk for my friend Lauren Witsenburg, who was taken from family and friends way too young, at 42 yrs old in January 2013 by ALS. Since her passing, I have committed to walking and fundraising every year in her honor to raise funds to support those affected by ALS and to spread awareness of the urgency to find treatments and a cure.

Many strides have been made- medications exist now that did not when she was diagnosed that are slowing the progression of the disease in patients. This kind of progress only happens with research and MONEY. 

Please consider donating any amount towards my fundraising for such an amazing organization that is fighting the good fight against 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, 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. I will be at the walk this weekend, if you want to join me- TEXT or CALL ME! Trinity Park, Fort Worth 9am Saturday.
