Welcome to Patti's Posse!
Thank you for helping me reach my ALS United Walk fundraising goal!
My mom and best friend, Patti, was diagnosed with ALS in October 2022 and lost her courageous battle in March 2024. The ALS Association was crucial in assisting my mom and our family through the numerous challenges faced while battling this terrible disease. From providing equipment to offering grants for medicine and care, they were a valuable resource each step of the way. We hope to raise funds so that other families affected by ALS can continue to benefit from their mission. Please learn more by reading below.
The ALS United Walk 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.
