Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.  I'm participating in ALS United Connecticut's Walk in memory of my Uncle In-law Thomas Ginolfi. My Uncle In-law was a fountain of knowledge of all things. Anytime I had a question about a plant, insect, bird, animal, reptile I’d email him and ask him and shortly after the response “Hey BIG GUY! That’s a (blank)” he’d always end it with asking how I was doing and how his niece my wife was doing. He was a light to us all. There were times I’d adjust the wired caught on his feet and wheelchair and I’d get down to help him and I’d always joke and say “don’t kick me okay!” And sure enough he’d have a slight spasm in his foot and you can see him laughing about it. This walk and every one after is for you Uncle Tom. 

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!

 I Love you Uncle Tom! 


Love BIG GUY!
