This is my 11th year participating in the Walk ALS. In 2017, I lost my dad after he fought a valiant battle for over 8 years. My dad tried every type of treatment imaginable, and all he wanted was to get better for his family. Anytime I needed ANYTHING, from equipment to rides to advice; I knew all I had to do was pick up the phone and call the girls at ALS united. 

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!  

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.
