17 years ago, we lost my mom, Debby Berniker, to ALS.  She was the best Mom, Wife, Friend, Sister, Cousin....There isn't a day that goes by that she isn't missed for her spirit, smile, advice, hugs, and love. 

She was always there for you and there wasn't anything that she wouldn't give if you needed it. But there is one thing she couldn't give and that was more time with her. 

Help us give more time to families that are fighting against ALS. Our team "Doing it For Debby" has been fighting against this disease for over 20 years and has raised over 300,000 dollars for the cause. We haven't found a cure yet, but we have helped fund drugs that have slowed the progression of the disease and provided equipment and services to make life a little more enjoyable for the entire family. There are also several promising clinical trials to identify and stop the progression underway...we can beat this. We just need to continue to fight!

If you are able to donate - anything is appreciated - if not, please share the word about this fundraiser.

I'm participating in ALS United Greater New York’s Walk ALS to raise funds that will support individuals and families affected by ALS.

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.

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.
