Please join us again this year as we raise money and walk in support of our dear friend Peter Brown. If you walked with us last year please plan to wear the PBR Cruisers t-shirt you received. If you are new to the walk this year and don't have a t-shirt, please contact Cathy Bodkin Derr via Messenger and let her know what size(s) you need and you can pick them up at the walk on August 24. There is no cost for the t-shirt.
The walk starts at 10:00 am. Please plan to arrive by 9:30 am. Look for a white tent with the PBR Cruisers sign. If you would like to make a donation on event day, please bring it to our tent after you check-in at the main entrance to make sure your donation is allocated to PBR Cruisers. It can be cash or a check made out to ALS.
Donations on this page can be made to any of the team members you see listed on the right. If you would like raise money beyond a donation, click "Join Our Team" and start your own team within PBR Cruisers to add to our grand total. If you can't walk but would like to make a donation, we are most thankful!
If you have any questions regarding the walk or logistics, please contact Cathy Bodkin Derr via Messenger.
We really appreciate your support!
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 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!
