Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. I'm participating in ALS United Greater New York’s Walk ALS to honor my husband, Dave, and to raise funds that will support individuals and families affected by ALS.  ALS United Greater NY has been a support to Dave and to me since his diagnosis on February 13, 2020, resources, information and  home visits and phone calls from their amazing Care Service.  We are so grateful for their help, and we know how important this organization is to the ALS Community.  

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 consider a donation and/or joining us at the Walkway Over the Hudson on October 18th!

Thank you.
