Jack'd Up
Welcome to Jack’d Up!
As many of you know, my father, Jack Sayers, was diagnosed with ALS and FTD three years ago. Even in the midst of this terrible journey, he continues to be the most selfless and caring person I know. It’s a long, hard battle but we will never stop fighting for him, and others affected by this awful disease.
We are participating in ALS United Greater New York’s Walk to raise funds to support people in our local community with ALS and spread awareness. Please consider joining our team in the Walk 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.
Thank you for your support!
