Welcome to Heather's Angels
As you all know my mom battled almost 2 years after being diagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s disease (ALS) She was our best friend and the glue to the family; she left behind 7 grandchild that miss her dearly. On January 9th 2021 she was freed from the shackles that held her tied down! We vowed to NEVER let her fight alone!!! Therefore, we continue to advocate, make noise and fight this battle by walking in the walks to defeat ALS!
We won’t stop fighting & walking until there is a cure!!! Last year due to unforeseen circumstances we were unable to participate; however, we are hoping to have a great and successful turnout this yet.
What is ALS…….
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.
