Welcome to My Personal Page
As most of you know, my older sister Sam was diagnosed with ALS last year. While this has been incredibly hard to navigate, we have been trying to make the best of it, and one of the best ways to do that is to surround yourself with family and friends. We would love for you to join us on September 17th and walk to raise money and awareness for ALS. If you can’t be there in person, but would still like to help in some way please reach out!
—————————————
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.
