Hi all! This is my third year participating in the Long Island Walk to Defeat ALS. My husband Jay was diagnosed with ALS in September 2021, and while his disease is progressing, I'm happy to report he is still going strong and not giving up without a fight. Jay is an amazing person and fights everyday to overcome new obstacles. Our motto is "one day at a time".

The dollars we raised together last year helped to make a difference in continuing 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 Saturday, September 21 at Eisenhower Park, on Long Island. 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, so there would be a world without ALS.

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.

 Please consider supporting my efforts by donating through my fundraising page. If you can't walk with us, please make a small donation to Team Jay. 

Please feel free to send this page to any friend or family member who might be interested in donating!

Thank you.
