Thank you for donating and helping me reach my Walk ALS fundraising goal! Walk 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. 

It is about to be 10 years since my father passed from this illness and I have taken it upon myself along with my family to keep fighting! Their fight is our fight and we will continue to fight to find a cure. spreading awareness has been our goal and luckily I have been able to through the ALS association helping me fundraise for 3 years in my own school community. This has all been done to represent my father, those who battle every day from this awful illness, and most importantly to find a 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.
