On behalf of Kerr's Crew and in Jim's memory, we are participating in our 17th walk.  Hard to believe it has been that long, but also hard to believe that there are still so many unknowns with this disease.  One thing we do know, however, is that there are many local families that can use your support, so we appreciate any support you can provide with a donation to our team.  We were blessed by so much support from the local chapter when Jim lived with ALS and we would like to see other families receive that support as well.  

Thank you for helping me reach my Walk ALS fundraising goal! Walk 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.
