Hey friends and family,

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 have created this Team -- Strides for Sara! I may not be at the Walk but ALS United has been a huge support and resource for me and my peers living with this disease. Attending events like this is a way to stay connected to the cause. Whether or not you fundraise, I encourage you to join the Team and attend the Walk next month. What an opportunity to move your working body!

Please consider walking as a member of our Team or being a sponsor. With your help, we will be able to make a difference in the lives of people affected by this disease.
