Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. I'm participating in ALS United Greater New York’s Walk ALS to raise funds.

Thirty five years, almost half of my life, I’ve lived with ALS.  Last June my original diagnosis was confirmed, so yes, I have dealt with ALS a very long time.  Why am I still alive but others have passed within two years?  I can still eat normal foods but other people living with ALS get their nourishment through a feeding tube.  Or why can I speak but my friend with ALS lost their voice shortly after onset?  ALS is difficult to understand.  There is no cure.  There is no known cause.  There is not even a viable treatment.  Valuable research must continue.

This is why I need your help.  I will once again participate in Walk ALS and am raising funds for research, advocacy and much needed patient care.  Would you please support this important cause with a donation?  Perhaps you will join my team, Circle of Hope and walk with me on Sunday, June 9th.  Please consider supporting my efforts by donating through my fundraising page.  Your donation 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 for your help!

Janet
