Thank you, friends!
Thank you for helping me reach my Walk to Defeat ALS fundraising goal! The Walk to Defeat ALS raises funds to support those affected by ALS and to spread awareness of the urgency to find treatments and a cure.
For those of you who know me, this cause has always been near to my heart. Working with people who have been diagnosed is one of the biggest honors of my career but I'm looking forward to a day that my services are not longer needed. Donating to this cause directly impacts the patients I get to serve in Nevada and supporting this organization makes a difference.
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.
