Welcome to My Personal Page
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.
I am sad to share my family lost my uncle, Joe Bieszczak, to this horrendous disease on 9/14/2024. I knew very little about this disease prior to Uncle Joe's diagnosis. It was/is terribly difficult to watch the rapid physical decline of family member as the disease progresses. I pray that fundraisers such as this will bring awareness to this disease, while providing the financial support toward research of ALS and patient equipment availability.
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.
