Welcome to Team Mike!

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.

Mike was diagnosed with ALS in October 2023. He first noticed muscle weakness and atrophy in his right leg around March of 2023. After numerous appointments with neuromuscular specialists and months of infusion therapy with no success, his doctor gave the devastating ALS diagnosis. 

Since then, Mike's ALS has continued to progress, and he now gets around in a power wheelchair. Prior to his diagnosis, Mike was very active and enjoyed walking miles around his neighborhood. 

Please consider joining Team Mike in the Walk ALS or 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.

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!
