Hello Everyone & Welcome In!!!!

I am excited and honored to say I am participating in Team Challenge ALS to raise funds and awareness to help fight back against this terrible disease and run in the 2023 NYC Marathon!!!

The ALS Association Greater New York provides much needed patient services resources, funds global, cutting-edge research, and much more in order to help those living with ALS right in our community. Team Challenge ALS is an exciting opportunity for us to work together to support those affected by ALS and to spread awareness of the urgency of our cause and to push for 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.

 

Every 90 minutes a person in this country is diagnosed with ALS and every 90 minutes another person will lose their battle against this disease. ALS occurs throughout the world with no racial, ethnic, or socioeconomic boundaries. 

 

This is why Challenging ALS is important to me. To bring hope. To raise awareness. To provide resources and services to families free of charge. I'm asking for your help. Please donate and help my team and I defeat ALS!
