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.

Three years ago, we lost my brother, Joey O, to ALS. Joey was more than just a brother, he was a pillar in our family and a constant presence in his community. He showed up for everyone, always with strength, loyalty, and heart.

ALS is a devastating disease that takes so much from those we love. In honor of Joey’s life and the incredible impact he had on all of us, we are raising funds to support ALS awareness, research, and the fight to find a cure.

Every donation, every share, and every step taken in his name keeps his spirit alive and brings us closer to a world without ALS. Thank you for supporting Team Joey O and helping us turn our loss into purpose.

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.
