Thank you for helping me reach my Walk to Defeat ALS fundraising goal! The Walk to Defeat ALS raises funds to support those affected by ALS and to spread awareness of the urgency to find treatments and a cure.
Most of you are aware that we lost someone who we love very much to ALS. We promised my brother in law Rob White  (who passed away 5 years ago on the day after his birthday ) that we  would continue to fight for this cause. If you’re not aware this is a horrible disease and it’s very difficult to watch any person waste away because of what the disease does to a body.
Rob is a heavenly angel now and no longer suffering. We miss him so much and the joy he brought to all of us.
Thank you for considering to donate in his honor.

God bless you!

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. 

 

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. 

 

But we can't stop now. The key to a cure begins with you. 

 

Please consider walking with me or sponsoring me. With your help, we will be able to make a difference in the lives of people affected by this disease.
