Nicole's ALS Jersey Shore Walk Page
Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. I'm participating in ALS United Greater New York’s Walk ALS to raise funds that will support individuals and families affected by ALS. As you may know, my dad was diagnosed in 2018 and passed in April 2021 from ALS. This year marks our fourth walk in honor of my dad!
The disease stole my so much from my family. We were lucky enough to have everything we needed for my dad to continue to get around and live his life to the fullest while still battling this terrible disease. My goal is to raise awareness of ALS and help to fundraise to help those living with ALS and their families. My family and I thank you for your support in this goal!
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!
Thank you.
