Thank you for helping us reach our team's 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.  John just hit 3 years in June and while walking is a distant memory, he's still getting around.  ALS can strike anyone, and presently there is no known cause or cure.

 

That's why we're 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. 

Please consider walking with our team or sponsoring us (or both!).   With your help, we will be able to make a difference in the lives of people affected by this disease.  Pitch in! (Just had to get a baseball reference in).
