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.

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!

Team Blue Eyes is walking in honor of Gilman Gauvin, husband, father, brother and so much more, and proud Veteran of the Vietnam War. Gilman passed away on March 23rd, 2025 from ALS, at home with his family.

Gilmans Blue Eyes are a symbol of the light that shines on in each of his family members and friends, who loved him dearly, and who will continue to help in the fight against ALS on his behalf.

We hope you can help us by donating in Gilmans name.

Thank you and Bless you!
