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.
I was diagnosed with motor neuron disease in January 2019 after over 2 years of symptoms. My disease is progressing slowly thanks to advances in treatment. But ALS nevertheless marches forward, and many people still die within 3-5 years. We desperately need more research and a greater understanding of the causes and ways to slow or stop the disease.
ALS Association has helped so much! They provide care coordinators, support, and a loan closet of equipment and resources for those struggling to get their own due to inadequate insurance coverage or slow processing for benefits.
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.
