Patrick's People Walk to Defeat ALS Page
Celebrating the life of Patrick Michael Roberts July 16, 1955 to October 9, 2023
Hi I am Nathifa and one of the Daughters of my real life hero dad Patrick Roberts.
Unfortunately, my music loving, saxophone playing, vibrant dad was diagnosed with ALS last November and forced to change many things in his life. While he is in great spirits, I also want to do a little more.
This year on May 6, I will walk and fundraise with the ALS Greater New York Chapter in a commitment to defeat ALS.
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.
