Walk ALS Jersey Shore

Susan's Squad

Welcome to our team page!

We are 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.

This walk is a fun way to spend time together and remember my mom, Susan. She was unwavering in her messages of positivity and peace, even as this terrible disease slowly took away her abilities. My hope is that the money raised as part of this event can help others affected and support the technology and science that can give other patients a better quality of life.

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!
