2024 TCS New York City Marathon: Dr. Emily Tyler

I'm honored to be running with Team ALS in the upcoming NYC Marathon to raise money and awareness for individuals and families impacted by ALS. Your support today will directly benefit ALS United Greater New York, providing essential resources and services to the local ALS community, advancing research for new treatments, and bringing us closer to a world free from this devastating disease.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), often referred to as "Lou Gehrig's Disease," is a progressive disease of the nervous system that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. Every ninety minutes, someone is diagnosed with the disease, and someone passes away from it. While about 90% of ALS cases occur without any known family history or genetic cause, the remaining 10% of ALS cases are inherited through a mutated gene with a known connection to the disease, also known as familial ALS.

ALS has profoundly affected my life. With the passing of my grandmother, Mabel, and most recently my mom, Sandy, our family has felt the devastating impacts of inheriting this disease. The lingering fear that this disease may continue to impact myself and members of my family brings an urgency to raising awareness and ultimately to finding a cure for ALS.

Running with Team ALS is deeply personal to me. It's a way to honor the memory of my mom and grandmother while raising awareness and funds to support others facing this diagnosis. Please consider donating to my fundraising efforts and please feel free to send this page to any friend or family member who might be interested in donating.

Thank you! And Go Team ALS!
