Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.  I'm participating in ALS United Connecticut's Walk ALS to raise funds to support people like my dad who are battling ALS.

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.

My dad was diagnosed last June and it turned our world upside down. He is one of the strongest people I know, and I he has taught me to always keep pushing and be strong. He has always been my strength when I needed it now it is my turn to be his.  

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!
