Welcome to Team Eddie!​ ​ We are participating in ALS United Greater New York’s Walk ALS to raise funds to support people with ALS and spread awareness.

Please consider joining our team in the Walk ALS. We'd love to have you! You can also choose a team member from the list and donate to our cause.

We lost our family member, Eduard Kurkin, to ALS in May 2021 after a devastating battle. Unfortunately, he is not our family's only ALS Hero. Eduard's father, uncle, and sister also all passed away from ALS. We walk for them, as well as to raise funds to find a cure so no one else we love has to face this illness. 

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 of the disease, yet it still costs loved ones an average of $250,000 a year to provide the care people living with ALS and their families need.

Help us move a cure for ALS over the finish line by donating today. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those affected by ALS.

Thank you for your support!
