Thank you for helping me reach my Walk ALS fundraising goal! The Walk ALS raises funds to support those affected by ALS like my beloved brother-in-law Brent who was diagnosed and all too soon taken from his family. The money is also used to spread awareness of the urgency to find treatments and a cure.

 

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
