Hello! Thanks for visiting my fundraising page. I am walking/raising money to honor my mom, Rose Spielman, who has ALS. ALS United Connecticut provided a lot of amazing support for my mom, including rides to doctors appointments, wheelchair van rentals to visit our family out of state, adaptive equipment, and other resources to help figure out this challenging and overwhelming process.

If you are interested, please join us to walk on October 5th in New Haven. If not, please consider making a donation if you are able to.  Please share this page with anyone you know who is interested!

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!
