My Personal Walk ALS Long Island Page
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.
Many of you have known that I lost my mom to this terrible disease over 15 years ago and now I’m walking for my Dad’s Cousin’s Wife, Susan, also diagnosed with 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 regardless of age, gender, nationality, or ethnicity, although it is primarily an adult-onset disease. Currently there is no known cause or cure.
I’m asking for your donation today, in memory of my mom, and for Susan, to help fund resources and services to the local ALS community and help find new ALS treatments.
Thank you.
