Hey buds! My family is participating in this year’s Walk to Defeat ALS - would you consider parting with some dollars to help me reach my fundraising goal?

ALS is a progressive neuromuscular disease that can strike anyone. Currently there is no known cause or cure. I’m walking in support of my dad, who was diagnosed last year. 

Funds from this walk will help advance ALS research and make a difference in the lives of people affected by this disease through care services and advocacy. 

This disease is incredibly stupid and every dollar donated helps us towards a future where its mysteries are solved!

You can also give directly on the ALS association website if FB giving is not your bag: web.alsa.org/goto/karenmeberg

 

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.
