Hudson Valley Walk ALS: Maureen Addiss - The ALS Association Greater New York Chapter

The Walk to Defeat ALS raises funds to support those affected by ALS and to spread awareness of the urgency to find treatments and a cure.

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, and presently there is no known cause or cure.

I have a very personal reason to walk and raise money for the ALS Association. I am walking in memory of my husband Walt. The support that Walt and I received from the ALS Association during his battle with ALS was amazing.

Together we can make a difference in the lives of those affected by ALS. Our team is committed to raising money to support people with ALS in our community and to bring help and hope to those living with the disease.

Please consider walking with me or sponsoring me. With your help, we will be able to make a difference in the lives of people affected by this disease.
