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.

I’ve been living with ALS for 7+ years and ALS United supported me and my family since day 1. Therefore, I’m participating in Walk ALS to raise funds to help individuals and families affected by ALS.  Please consider donating through my fundraising page to continue their work.

Feel free to send this page to any friend or family member who might be interested in donating!

Thank you.
