It's that time of year again! Thanks to all of you who have so generously donated over the years, and for those of you who have joined us for the walk! It's a beautiful day to remember Dudley who walks with all of us every day in our hearts! Praying for another beautiful sunny & crisp Fall day at Sherwood Island in Westport on October 19th (registration starts at 10 a.m. and the walk begins at 11 a.m.) Come join us if you can! --- Cindy, Sue, Julie & Maureen.  Thank you for donating and 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 support the caregivers who help their loved one fight this disease.   To ensure that no one ever hears the words: “You Have ALS” again!  

We can’t stop now! The key to a cure starts with all of US.  Please consider walking with me or making a donation to my team. With your help, we will be able to make a difference in the lives of people affected by this disease.
