Thank you for visiting my fundraising page for the ALS United CT Chapter Walk! My family and I are participating in this walk to raise funds that will support individuals and families affected by ALS.

Anyone who knows me well, knows how much of an impact my Uncle Tom made and continues to make on my life everyday, even though he is no longer here. My Uncle Tom had been in a wheelchair due to ALS ever since I was born, and watching him courageously battle this truly devastating disease every day of my life taught me alot. He taught me to have faith and hope in each day, even when it feels like there is nothing left to hold onto. He also taught me how music, art and nature feed a persons soul. And he taught me the importance of showing up for others, even when you think you've got nothing left to offer. By donating to this fundraiser, and/or coming to walk beside us in Westport on October 18th, you will be personally contributing to the families in CT that are affected by ALS, and helping make sure they are supported. ALS United CT has been there for my family for many, many years and I truly don't know how we could have navigated the complexities of ALS without their support. Please help us pass that help along to those who need it.

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!
