Please Join Us to Support Our Dear Friend, Kevin Hill, who is challenging ALS head-on. This will be the 5th year that Kevin's friends have rallied and supported him as 'Kevin's Krusaders' since the fundraising will make a difference in finding treatments and a cure for ALS. For each of the four previous years, Kevin's Krusaders raised over $10,000 to support ALS. This year our goal is to once again raise $20,000. Thank you for helping us reach our fundraising goal! Together we can make a difference in the lives of those affected by ALS. Our team is committed to raising money to support people in our community with ALS and spread awareness of the urgency to find treatments and a cure.
Please consider joining our team (Kevin's Krusaders) in the Walk to Defeat ALS® by donating and/or joining us on Sat. Oct 28th at 9am to Walk with Kevin as part of Kevin's Krusaders.

ABOUT ALS
Amyotrophiclateral 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!
