Walk ALS Long Island
Team Jay
Hi all, and welcome to our team page!
This will be Team Jay’s third year participating in ALS United Greater New York’s Walk ALS to raise funds to support people in our local community with ALS and spread awareness.
Please consider joining our team in the Walk ALS, Long Island and making a donation under your name. If you are unable to join us on the day of the walk, please consider choosing any of the team members from the Team Roster and donating under their name to our cause.
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 of the disease, yet it still costs loved ones an average of $250,000 a year to provide the care people living with ALS and their families need.
Help us move a cure for ALS over the finish line by donating today. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those affected by ALS.
Thank you for your support!
