As you may know, I work for the ALS Association raising funds to help support people living with ALS, and for the funding of crucial, cutting edge research to find treatments and a cure. The most immediate goal is to make ALS a LIVABLE disease! The disease is the most painful I have ever seen. It is painful and difficult for every single person involved.
ALS is a disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. Eventually, people with ALS lose all their abilities to move, such as the ability to speak, walk, and even breathe. The average life expectancy of a person diagnosed with ALS is 2-5 years.
Please help by donating to my team today, registering to join for my Walk team and help fundraise, or come to the Walk and join in the Celebration of HOPE for a day in the future without ALS!
Thank you so much for your suppport!
WHY WE NEED YOUR HELP
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.
That’s why I'm participating in the Walk to Defeat ALS. To bring hope. To raise awareness. To provide resources and services to families free of charge. To help unlock the mystery of ALS and find the key to treatments and a cure. Will you join me?
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!
