My Personal Walk to Defeat ALS Page
Many of you already know that my husband, Vince, was diagnosed with ALS in March 2017 and passed away on October 23, 2021. Currently there is no cure. We will be walking again this year with our family and friends to help raise money to support those affected by ALS and to spread awareness of the urgency to find treatments and a cure.
Thank you for helping us reach our Walk to Defeat ALS® fundraising goal in the past and we hope we can count on you again this year!
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.
That's why I'm walking. To change the statistics. To bring help and hope to those living with the disease. To ensure that no one ever hears the words: "You have ALS" again.
The past two years have brought incredible advancements in ALS research, expanded access to care for people living with ALS, and enabled legislation that impacts the quality of life of people with ALS and their families.
But we can't stop now. The key to a cure begins with you.
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 diseas.
