Wayne's Warriors
Welcome to Wayne's Warriors team page.
We are in Wayne's memory and to spread much needed awareness to this horrific disease. We are hoping to raise funds to support people in our local community with ALS and hopefully a treatment or cure in the future because right now there is nothing for those given this devastating diagnosis.
Please consider joining our team in the Walk ALS or choose a team member from the list and donate 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 average life expectancy of a person with ALS is 2 to 5 years, Wayne only lived 16 months after he was diagnosed. ALS can strike anyone, in most cases it is not genetic, it could happen to someone you love. There is no known cause of the disease. ALS not only takes a toll on family members as caretakers but it is also a very expensive disease costing oved 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!
Trish and family
