Welcome to our X-OKIE team page!

As you know, my mom was proud of being from Oklahoma but called NJ home, as she lived in NJ most of her life. Most of you already know that my mom recently passed from the devastating disease ALS. In her memory, and in hopes of helping to find a cure, we will be walking. Join our team to remember Earllene and to support ALS United. ALS United was our lifeline during this horrifically sad journey.

We are participating in ALS United Greater New York’s Walk ALS to raise funds to support people in our local community with ALS and spread awareness.

Please consider joining our team in the Walk ALS or choose a team member from the list and donate to our cause. 

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 of the disease, yet it still costs loved ones an average of $250,000 a year to provide the care people living with ALS and their families need.

Help us move a cure for ALS over the finish line by donating today. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those affected by ALS.
