Push Your Limits. Fight ALS.
This St. Patrick's Day, I am excited to be running the NYC Half Marathon this year in honor of my uncle and godfather, Norman Masterson, who passed away last November after a courageous battle with Motor Neuron Disease/ALS.
I’m fundraising for ALS United Greater New York, an organization dedicated to supporting MND patients and their families, as well as advancing research to find effective treatments and hopefully one day a cure for this devastating disease.
I would greatly appreciate any support you could provide to help me reach my fundraising goal of $2,000. Your donation will provide much-needed care and support for MND/ALS patients while fueling promise for new treatment discoveries.
ALS and MND describe the same main disorder - the progressive degeneration and death of the motor neurons controlling muscle function. ALS falls under the umbrella of MND as its most common form. ALS is the term used more frequently in North America, while MND is the term more commonly used in Europe.
