Hello and Thank you for making your way to our team page!
ALS SUCKS!
This year marks 10 years since our Grandma -Mom (Verena) lost her battle to ALS!
Our family has been walking in memory of her every year since.
Walk to Defeat ALS is held in Greendfield park. The path takes you around a pond and there are some nice nature views along the way.
Join our team or donate to our team to help Fight a Cure!

Thank you for helping us reach our fundraising goal! Together we can make a difference in the lives of those affected by ALS.
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 we’re 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 us?
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!
