As most of you know, in July 2019 our lives were changed forever. Our dad, Tony, was diagnosed with ALS after 6 months of testing. He quickly made the decision to LIVE LIFE while we fight this battle, and we are asking you to fight with us. Our first year to have Team Dallas, in 2019, we raised just over $9,000.00. Year two, hosted here at home in Orange, our first goal was to raise $13,000.00, as a tribute of dad's college baseball number, 13... and we ended up raising over $80,000.00! Year three we raised the most money out of ALL the teams in the state of Texas. Help us bring home that title for year 4!
While yes, you will be registering under the "Greater Houston" walk, we invite you to register for Team Dallas and join us in Orange, Texas to all walk together! If you wish to attend the walk as a group, organization or company we are encouraging everyone to still register for the walk under the Team Dallas name. This insures all donations will be made in honor of TD.

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. 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 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!
