Walk for dad!

Donate Now
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. 

In August of 2022, my dad heard those very words and ended up with less than 6 months to live after spending 8 months trying to find a diagnosis. 
 
I can’t bring my dad back, but I can do everything that I can to raise awareness and support the cause for earlier identification and to find a cure so other families don’t have to say goodbye as mine did. 

Dad taught me to fight for what I believe in, so let’s fight… one step at a time.
