Herbie's Heroes is looking for and counting on your support with a donation to raise funds to fight this cause. Also all are welcome to join my team. 

The Link is provided to easily donate and or join Herbie's Heroes  on September 28, 2024 @ Cedar Crest College campus. We've been walking since the start of 

"LV Walk to Defeat ALS" in 2002, the same year we lost our Hero my Dad, Herbie Kern.

Thank you in advance 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.

 

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.
