Why it is important that we fund raise NOW:
This pandemic is causing a dramatic loss in revenue that typically funds our services for over 300 families impacted by ALS in western PA. Your generosity helps to sustain these programs and services through this crisis.
On January 7th, 2021, Bob WON his battle with ALS, as he is now dancing while chewing gum, swimming in a beautiful ocean, and hugging his parents.
Forever our hero.
The Walk:

Why We Need Your Help
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.
Every 90 minutes a person in this country is diagnosed with ALS and every 90 minutes another person will lose their battle against this disease. ALS occurs throughout the world with no racial, ethnic, or socioeconomic boundaries.
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!
