My Personal Walk ALS Long Island Page
Personal Progress for Julie



Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. As you probably know, this is personal. I am again participating in ALS United Greater New York’s Walk ALS to raise funds that will support individuals and families affected by ALS, like mine.
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 - and as someone in healthcare, I needed to do something to get us closer to a cure.
Being a part of ALS United Greater New York’s WALK ALS is the number one way to unite and fundraise for those living with ALS. Please consider supporting my efforts by donating through my fundraising page and support my family and so many other families as we navigate the uncertainty.
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.
