I've always referred to my mom as "Veronica" but she has gone by the name "Ronni" since Kindergarten.  She started her own business at 19 years old, straight out of beauty school, and remained in that shop for 57 years!!  The team name represents the name of that cherished shop where she spent her whole life making everyone else feel beautiful (with the exception of a bad perm or dye job every once in a while).  

My mom is the strongest, bravest, most SELFLESS person I have ever met. Even after being diagnosed with ALS she continues to face each day with courage, grace and that unstoppable GENUINE care for others that has ALWAYS inspired me.

I'm walking for my mom.  I'm walking for every other family affected by this terrible diagnosis.  I'm asking you to walk with me-whether that means joining me at the walk, donating, or just sharing this message.

Every step counts, every dollar matters...ALS is a devastating disease, but together, we can make a difference.  

​JOIN me, at Sherwood Island, ON OCTOBER 18th...consider it a late 80th birthday gift for my beautiful and amazing mom who will turn 80 on September 6th.

XOXO,

Ronni

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!
