We, the Kelley "kids" myself , Erin, Sean and my mom Maureen Reid thank you all for the continuous support and generosity supporting our fight to Defeat ALS.  In honor of my dads passing from ALS that Will be 20 years on 09/04/2003 my family and I decided to resurrect our ALS team Kelley Krusaders to celebrate his life with friends and family. These walks are important , they help raise money for existing patients and research, create a place for connection  , and provide hope for a disease that often is seen to have none. The Hershey ALS Clinic truly provides the best care anywhere for their ALS patients and families. Thank you for being a part of our team!

 

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. 

That’s why we’re participating in the Walk to Defeat ALS. To bring hope. To raise awareness. To provide resources and services to families free of charge. To help unlock the mystery of ALS and find the key to treatments a cure. Will you join us? 

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. Presently 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. Join the movement to provide help and hope today!
