Welcome to the team O'Connor page!

We are participating in ALS United Connecticut's Walk ALS to raise funds to support people in our local community with ALS and spread awareness, especially my Aunt, Jean O'Connor, who is currently fighting ALS.

Please consider joining our team in the Walk ALS or choose a team member from the list and donate to our cause.

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 regardless of age, gender, nationality, or ethnicity, although it is primarily an adult-onset disease.  Currently there is no known cause of the disease, yet it still costs loved ones an average of $250,000 a year to provide the care people living with ALS and their families need.

ALS United CT has been extremely helpful to Jean and John while they navigate this disease. This is a great opportunity to give back to an amazing organization that does so much for families affected by ALS. 

Help us move a cure for ALS over the finish line by donating today.  Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those affected by ALS.

Thank you for your support!
