Hey friends and ALS fighters,

Thank you for visiting our fundraising page!

We're participating in the Walk ALS Jersey Shore on September 13th, 2025 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. 

We're walking in honor of my badass, beautiful and brave mom, Janet! We proudly named ourselves Janet's Little Meatballs - a shoutout to her legendary kitchen skills and a tasty nod to beloved family favorite. 

Feel free to send this page to anyone who might want to donate, cheer us on, or join the walk! Together, we're rallying to tell ALS to f*** off - for good. 

With all our love, laughter, and fierce vengeance hotter than Janet's Sunday sauce,

Tasha and the Dones & Labora family
