Two years ago, our world shifted when Mary Rose - our amazing mom - received the diagnosis of ALS. It was a tough blow, but knowing Mom, we knew she wouldn't let it break her.
Throughout her life, even as a single mom, Mary Rose has always shown incredible strength and resilience. She's the one who taught us to face challenges head-on and never give up. Now, it's our turn to show her the same unwavering support.
This walk to Defeat ALS isn't just about raising money for research – it's about honoring Mary Rose's spirit. It's about walking with her, step by step, and showing our love and gratitude for the incredible example she's always set for us.
So join us! Together, let's make a difference and show the world that the Tough Cookies Crew is here to crumble ALS, piece by piece.

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!
