When I was in junior high, my brother married a brilliant, beautiful, wonderful lady.  Over 50 years she grew to be my sister, my jai alai buddy, my confidante and my friend.  In November 2022, we lost her to ALS. There are break throughs all the time, but none in time for Pam.  

Your support truly will aid in the research that has brought us "this close" to a treatment and cure.  Your support will help families living through this devasting disease to have the resources, equipment and support they need to get through. 

Thank you in advance for donating and helping me reach my Walk to Defeat ALS fundraising goal! The Walk to Defeat 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. 

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!
