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.

As you may know, this is very important to me. My Aunt was diagnosed with ALS in 2023, but had started having episodes in 2021 that no one could diagnose. It was very frustrating not knowing what was going on and then one day a friend suggested going to the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio. They said that they are one of the best around who could probably give them an idea of what she was going through. They made the appointment, they went and had a slew of tests done and after the results all came back she had her diagnosis....ALS. She has been a trooper and continues to fight hoping that with all the research that is being done a new drug will be produced and will not only help her but so many others who suffer from this disease. I hope you will find it in your heart to donate or even join our team and walk with us.
