I'm excited to walk in Colorado Springs this year! Team Otterman has walked in St. Louis, Fort Worth, Dallas, Tulsa, Denver and now Colorado Springs! We walk in memory of my Dad, David Otterman, who was a Vietnam veteran, husband, father, grandfather and friend to so many.  Please help us in defeating ALS, as there is no treatment or cure at this time. You can join Team Otterman and walk with us, donate to the ALS Association, or help spread awareness so that we can all find a cure for this terrible disease.  

Thanks for your support!

Thank you for helping me reach my Walk to Defeat ALS® fundraising goal! The Walk to Defeat ALS raises funds to support those affected by ALS and to spread awareness of the urgency to find treatments and a cure.

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.
