Hi all! This is my third year participating in the ALS Walk, Long Island. While my disease has progressed, my determination to fight, adapt and not give up has allowed me to remain optimistic and live the best life I can!

The dollars we raised together the last two years have helped to make a difference in continuing the research and services benefiting people with ALS and their families. I and my family would be thrilled if you can join Team Jay and walk with us again this year on September 21st at Eisenhower Park, on Long Island. 

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.

Being a part of ALS United Greater New York’s WALK ALS is the number one way to unite and fundraise for those living with ALS. Please consider supporting my efforts by donating through my fundraising page.

Your donation today 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.

Many thanks, and love you all!
