Welcome to My Personal Page
Thank you for helping me reach my Walk to Defeat ALS fundraising goal! I will be in Cincinnati on September 17th to join most of my family to walk in support of my brother-in-law, Jim Bowman. Jim has been a member of the family for nearly 50 years and is grandfather to 5+ and the favorite uncle to many nieces and nephews, including my three children. Jim has an amazing spirit, is extremely upbeat, hasn't slowed down, and wakes up every day believing life is great. I am honored to walk for him and all the others with ALS.
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.
