We are participating in the Walk to Defeat ALS Orlando to Defeat ALS on March 16, 2024, in honor of Geoffrey Luker.
Geoffrey Luker was born in Bristol, England in 1954. At a young age, he began working with his father and did so until he emigrated to the United States in 1994. Geoffrey was always passionate about family, sports, and making the best of every situation. Everything Geoffrey did was for the betterment of his family; starting a family real estate company, helping grow and coach the Central Florida soccer community and always traveling to new places to create new memories. Memories we will always cherish.
In 2019 Geoffrey lost his battle to ALS. Since then, the Luker family has been dedicated to the education, awareness, and further research of this disease. Our hope, along with your help, is that one day, ALS will be a disease of the past; only something we read about in history books. Cheers to Geoffrey, to all those taken too soon, and to all of us for fighting to eradicate ALS.

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!
