I'm hosting this fundraising event for ALS United Greater New York, raising funds that will support individuals and families affected by ALS.

ALS United Greater New York provides patient services resources, funds research, and much more in order to help those living with ALS in the local community.

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 regardless of age, gender, nationality, or ethnicity, although it is primarily an adult-onset disease. Currently there is no known cause or cure.

Your contribution will make an impact, whether you donate $5 or $500. Every dollar helps towards finding new treatments and a cure for ALS and will make a difference for the people living with ALS in our local community.

Please support me today and help me reach my goal.
