My beautiful cousin Tiffany Brothers was diagnosed in February 2018 with ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease) at the age of 33. Tiffany was an outgoing, caring, happy, vibrant young woman. She has the best laugh and loved to make others smile, even through the struggles of life with ALS. She loved having visitors, weekly girls night, family, dogs, fuzzy socks and anyone to play with her hair. Through her 4 year battle she continued to try and make the most of each day in true Tiffy fashion, and enjoy her life to the fullest!
On behalf of our entire family, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping to support Tiffany and the ALS association over the years.
This year will be a different walk for our family, and many others who's loved ones lost their fight with ALS. While Tiffany won't be there with us, she would still strongly encourage everyone to continue donating and supporting the efforts through the ALS association in finding a cure!
Thank you for helping us reach our fund raising 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 treatment and a cure. Please consider joining our team in the Walk to Defeat ALS® or choose a team member from the list and donate to our cause.
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!
