Help Me Show Janet The Love
Event: | Boston Walk |
Date: | Sunday, October 20, 2024 |
Team: | Team PVO, Positive Vibes Only |
My sister Janet is the last person in the world I could imagine being diagnosed with this awful disease. She has been a successful athlete her entire life. Up until her symptoms she was playing tennis, pickleball and paddle tennis. And if she wasn’t on the courts she was paddle boarding, biking or walking. Being active and competing is what made Janet happiest.
Needless to say, her diagnosis is devastating to our family. We all love and admire her so much and would give anything to change the course of events. She is handling this as she has handled everything in her life- with strength and grace.
Please help me show Janet the love and either sign up to walk with us in Boston on October 20th under the name Team PVO, Positive Vibes Only, or make a donation to ALS by clicking on the Donate button. Let’s all work to help find a cure for this horrific disease and support those afflicted and their caregivers.
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, and presently there is no known cause or cure.
That’s why I’m walking. To change the statistics. To bring help and hope to those living with the disease. To ensure that no one ever hears the words: “You Have ALS” again.
The past two years have brought incredible advancements in ALS research, expanded access to care for people living with ALS, and enabled legislation that impacts the quality of life of people with ALS and their families.
But, we can’t stop now. The key to a cure begins with you.
Please consider walking with me or sponsoring me. With your help, we will be able to make a difference in the lives of people affected by this disease.
