Please join Team Chris Brainard on Saturday, September 28, 2024 at Royals Stadium for the Walk to Defeat ALS! My husband Chris Brainard was diagnosed with ALS in April 2018. He gained his angel wings in January 21, 2019. He leaves behind 2 sons, Tyler and Max. We are walking as a family to raise awareness and money for ALS research so that one day they will find a cure for ALS so no family will ever have to watch their loved one suffer thru this terrible disease. We would love to have our family and friends join us at the walk. If you are unable to attend and could make a donation to our team, we would be very appreciative!
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!
