Thank you for visiting our fundraising page. Mark and I are once again co-chairing and 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. 

As many of you know, Donna's grandfather, "Poppy" Aaron Rosner, passed away from ALS in 1987. Our team, "Poppy's Pals," walks in his memory, for all those we've lost to ALS and for everyone battling this terrible disease.

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 our efforts by donating through our 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,

Donna & Mark
