Team Rich
Welcome to our TeamRich page!
Our dad, Rich Fuentes, lost his almost 3 year battle with ALS in April of 2021. Since then, we’ve been raising money to fund research and awareness in his name.
While Richie can’t be with us on September 13th, we will walk in his honor to ensure no one else has to suffer like he did.
We miss our dad every day, but once a year, we all get to honor him and others who have battled ALS.
Please consider joining us or donating to help us fight.
Wear your best pink and put your thumbs up on September 13th #GoRichie
Thank you,
Nicole, Ashley & Dana

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.
Please consider joining our team in the Walk ALS or choose a team member from the list and donate to our cause.
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.
