Wow wow wow - I am so grateful and humbled at the amazing experience this ALS United Walk has been!! From the amazing team participation to the so very generous donations to the kind words and support of so many to an absolutely fabulous day at an amazing venue where 500 people raised more than $160,000 for ALS research and support services!! This was my first experience at such an event and I am totally blown away! Thank you thank you thank you from the bottom of my heart - I am blessed and grateful beyond measure!!
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. I personally have received support and resources in the past year from ALS United that have helped make my ALS journey easier. 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!
