Welcome to My Personal Page
This year we walk for the 20th year to celebrate the life of our dear friend Lorri Carey💜
20 years with ALS is not your typical outcome. Most people die within 2 to 5 years! Although we are thankful her case is slower progression we still need a cure. Lorri had lost so many friends to ALS and it’s so hard watching this horrible disease continue to rob families of their loved ones. Please consider making a donation to continue research and care for those living with ALS. If you’re fortunate enough not to know what ALS is please read below!
Thank you to all who have donated over the years and continue to!
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.
