Welcome to My Hugh's Crew "Walking for Extra Innings" Fundraising Page
Event: | Pittsburgh Walk |
Date: | Saturday, September 14, 2024 |
Team: | Hugh's Crew "Walking for Extra Innings" |
Please help Hugh's Crew "Walking for Extra Innings" raise money for the Western Pennsylvania Chapter of the ALS Foundation.
My Dad, Hugh O'Brien was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's disease in June 2018. And we want to raise funds and awareness to support him and others living with this disease. The WPA ALS Association has helped our family in many ways this past year!
We also want to help raise funds for treatments to slow the progression and studies that will help find a cure.
Please consider donating and / or walking with us in Pittsburgh on Saturday September 14, 2019 at Point State Park.
Thank you for helping me reach my Walk to Defeat ALS(R) fundraising goal! The Walk to Defeat ALS raises funds to support those affected by ALS and to spread awareness of the urgency to find treatments and a cure.
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.
