Dear Family and Friends!
Wow! we have been doing this for 14 years! 14 years of raising awareness and funds to will the battle! So much has changed for the better over that time.
Thank you for helping us reach our fund raising goal! Together we can make a difference in the lives of those affected by Lou Gehrig’s Disease. Because of your donation, there are no longer waiting lists for equipment needed to make everyday like manageable. Just think what it means for someone who doesn't have the ability to speak, to use a special computer and be able through eye gaze technology, speak and let their needs be known! 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. We can't bring back the family that we have lost, but one day we will never have to hear the words ALS again!
Why We Need Your Help
Often referred to as Lou Gehrig's Disease, 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 an ALS patient 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.
This crippling disease can strike anyone. Presently there is no known cause of the disease yet it still costs loved ones an average of $200,000 a year to provide the care ALS patients need. Help make a difference and donate or join a walk today.
Thank you for joining in the fight! We will will the battle!
We got this Harley Walkers! Make Glenn proud!
