Welcome to Team Winning Attitude! We're so glad you can join us as a walker or supporter. Why the name "Winning Attitude"? Well, when Luke drove Adam and Laura to school at Bishop Guilfoyle every morning, he would make them sing a rousing rendition of "Yes! I have a winning attitude! Ba doop doop do doop do do doop." He's taking that winning attitude to his approach to ALS, and Team Winning Attitude is, too. Thanks for joining us as we support the ALS Association on their mission to end ALS.
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 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!
