Tony's Story

With gradual symptoms beginning in 2022 leading to an eventual diagnosis in 2024, Tony has shown us what it means to fight courageously, never losing hope and inspiring others to do the same. With the strength of love and community by his side, Tony's story fuels our determination to move forward until ALS is a disease of the past. Tony is a cancer survivor and is fighting ALS with the same bravery that he did when he battled cancer 10 years ago. Let's walk together in solidarity, celebrating his strength and the lives of others affected by ALS.

Get Involved: Make a Difference

We invite you to join us—whether you're walking alongside us or supporting from afar. Every stride, every roll, and every donation propels us closer to our goal of ending ALS, driven by the united strength of our community. Together, we can make a tangible difference in the lives of those affected by ALS in North Carolina and beyond.

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. 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.

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.

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.
