We're walking in honor of our father, grandfather, brother, uncle, barber, friend, Steve Eigenberger. His positive spirit and desire to contribute to research of this disease motivates us to raise money and awareness! Dad was diagnosed with ALS back in June of 2023. He remains hopeful that this disease can be reversed and would enjoy the opportunity to support any research into ALS. He especially feels for the young people who get this diagnosis. Let's do what we can to help get closer to treatment and a cure for this devastating disease.
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 joining me or making a donation. With your help, we will be able to make a difference in the lives of people affected by this disease.
