In 2020 my mother, Karen, was diagnosed with ALS. After years of falls, concussions, carpal tunnel, it all came together for a devastating diagnosis. She made the most of her battle, loving her family and friends with the precious time she had left. Almost exactly 2 years later, she lost that battle just days after having her whole family together to celebrate Hanukkah. She had her closest family all with her one last time. This is a horrific disease with terrible prognoses that needs more funding. Please donate so no one else needs to lose their mother or father or best friend or child.

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.
