Two years ago I lost my darling son Aaron to ALS, a very cruel disease. He was a strong, healthy, athletic sportsman in 2018. This terrible disease changed his life so tragically. With a year his strength and speech were failing, and in less than three years he passed away. There is no effective treatment or cure. Since he passed away I've met many people who had family or friends who suffered the same fate, and cannot help but suspect that it is more widespread than advertised. Please help find a treatment and a cure.
Thank you for helping me reach my Walk & Roll to Cure ALS fundraising goal! The Walk & Roll to Cure ALS is very important to me, as it raises funds to support those affected by ALS and to spread awareness of the urgency to find effective treatments and cures.
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.
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. Click or tap on VIEW MY TEAM above to join, or on DONATE to make a donation.
The past few 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. We can't stop now! Let's cure ALS together!
