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. Currently there is no known cause or cure.

I was diagnosed in 2009. I had just turned 40,  Jim and I were married 4 years, and Dana, my precious baby, was only 3 years old. Our lives were changed in an instant. Our hopes, dreams, and plans for the future, came to a screeching halt. Fast forward to today, I am so grateful my progression has been slow. May 2024 I will be living with ALS for 15 years! Yes, it sucks, but I am here to watch Dana go to prom, graduate high school, and begin college.

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.
