Walk to Defeat ALS
Hi everyone and thank you for visiting my personal fundraising page to Defeat ALS!
My mom, Mary Ann Tiknis, lost her battle with ALS in 2022 - less than 2 years after her diagnosis.
If you were lucky enough to know my mom, you already know what a caring, selfless, and laid back person she was.
I walk to honor her and to help and bring hope to others who are currently living with ALS.
If you do not know much about ALS, please read the information below:
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.
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.
No donation is too small! With your help, we CAN make a difference!
