On February 16th, 2019, my whole world changed when my dad lost his battle with ALS. Five years and one month later, on March 16th, 2024, it changed again when we welcomed my son, Rowan, to the world. But because of ALS, he will never get to meet the grandfather who would have absolutely adored him. My dad would have loved and made the most of every second he got to spend with Rowan. He would have taught him how to play baseball and golf, helped with his homework (especially math), and loved Rowan with every little bit of his heart. I see my dad in Rowan every day. He has the same twinkle of mischief in his eye and the same smirk I can still picture clear as day. I would give anything to give Rowan the opportunity to grow up with my dad in his life. But since that’s not a possibility, I will instead do whatever I can to help ALS United support other families fighting ALS, and work towards finding a cure for this disease. Rowan will grow up understanding the importance of giving back to an organization that provided so much support and generosity to my family, and so many others, when we needed them. 

This year Rowan will participate in his second Walk ALS, a tradition I hope to continue as long as possible. Our team, Bob’s Caddies, will carry on my dad’s legacy of fundraising and giving back to ALS United. If you would like to donate, you can do so through my Facebook fundraising page, or directly through my ALS United participant page: https://secure.alsunitedct.org/site/TR/Endurance/General?px=1012533&pg=personal&fr_id=1150

If you would like to join our team, you can sign up via this link: https://secure.alsunitedct.org/site/TR/Endurance/General?team_id=2950&pg=team&fr_id=1150

Every little bit helps and I would be so immensely thankful for any contributions made towards our goal.

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.  I'm participating in ALS United Connecticut's Walk ALS to raise funds that will support individuals and families affected by ALS.  I am walking in honor of my Dad, Bob Frink.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive, fatal neuromuscular disease that slowly robs the body of it's 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 or cure.

Being a part of ALS United Connecticut's Walk ALS is the number one way to unite and fundraise for those living with ALS.  Please consider supporting my efforts by donating through my fundraising page.

Your donation today will help fund resources and services to the local ALS community, help find new ALS treatments, and move us closer to a world without the disease.

Please feel free to send this page to any friend or family member who might be interested in donating!

Thank you!
