We are walking in memory of my dad and my grandpa. Both gone too soon from this awful disease. We walk in support for the brave men and women (many veterans) who have this disease, and in support of their families and caretakers. We hope to find a cure to end this disease once and for all, there are some treatments that do help to slow the progression of the disease and that was able to be found by amazing people donating and supporting our cause. If you're able to any donation amount helps to get us closer to finding a cure. If you can't donate at this time, please share! If you would like to walk with us to show support in our cause please feel free to 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!
