Team: | ALStriders for Clara |
On January 21, 2016, my sister Clara lost her fight against ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), often referred to as Lou Gehrig's disease, a progressive, fatal neuromuscular disease that slowly robs the body of its ability to walk, speak, swallow and breathe. It was horrible watching Clara loose the use of her muscles to walk, eat, and then talk; but still being able to see in her eyes the pain. The ALS association provided medical equipment and support not only to Clara, but to the family to try to make her last days meaningful. This is why my family formed the team ALStriders for Clara. To walk to raise money to defeat ALS in her memory. Please consider making a donation to ALStriders for Clara.
The past two years have brought incredible advancements in ALS research, expanded access to care for ALS patients, and enabled legislation that impacts the quality of life of patients and their families. WE CAN'T STOP NOW!
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.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.
