The 2021 STL Walk to Defeat ALS we LLC be Saturday, 6/26!  We will be walking in my sister’s subdivision and would love for you to join us!  Please, sign up to walk &/or donate now while you are here!  

Thank you, in advance, 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. 

Our family had been hit hard by this terrible disease.  A grandmother, an uncle, two aunts, my brother (in 2016)  and last year (2020) a very dear cousin.

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. 

There has been incredible advancements in ALS research, they have 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. 

Thank you,
Margie
