My Personal Walk to Defeat ALS Page
I'm raising money for The ALS Association Greater New York Chapter because it’s a worthy cause and one that is personal to me and my family. As many of you know, my dear friend and brother from another mother, Paul, was diagnosed with ALS in 2021, a progressive neuromuscular disease for which there is no cure or meaningful treatments. Funding and research is desperately needed and your contribution will make an impact, whether you donate $5 or $500. Every little bit helps.
Thank you for your support. I hope you will consider joining our team Pablo’s Pals and walking with us on Saturday June 3 at Manhattanville College!! I've included information about The ALS Association Greater New York Chapter below. Many of you have donated to my page already, this is an ask for those who have not.
Our Mission is to lead the fight to cure and treat ALS through global, cutting edge research, and to empower people with Lou Gehrig's Disease and their families to live fuller lives by providing them with compassionate care and support.
Facebook takes care of the donation processing with no fees.
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.
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 disease.
