Welcome to TEAM THIEM
Thank you for helping me reach my Walk to Defeat ALS fundraising goal! The Walk to Defeat 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'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.
Our team is Team Thiem. We are walking in honor and remembrance of Carl Thiem, who passed away from ALS this past year and within less of a year of diagnosis. Carl was a kind and gentle man. He loved his wife, Sandra Hall, and his grandchildren with all his soul. We miss him terribly and are participating and asking for donations so no other family will have to walk this path. Every donation, big or small is so treasured. Thank you for joining Team Thiem.
