Philadelphia ALS United Walk

PAPTARTS

We walk for the patriarch of our family. Fondly known by most as Warren but to us he is Dad, Daddy, Pappy, The Papanator, and Paptart.


Our Dad is a proud Veteran of the Vietnam war and.

J.M. Storm said it best "And the truth is that all veterans pay with their lives. Some pay all at once, while others pay over a lifetime."

For those of you that don't already know, our Dad was diagnosed with ALS in September of 2023. Since then he has been battling to live his life as he always has. We admire our Dad's will to fight this head on! Our family's journey this past year has had its ups and downs, despite this we continue to keep moving forward together to support my Dad and my Mom as they navigate this new normal. One thing remains constant and that is our love for our parents and our desire to support ALS research to find more effective treatments.


Please help us to help others in their battle against


ALS! Join us on November 16th to walk or send in a donation if you feel led to do so!


Our family thanks you for your love and support!

WHY WE NEED YOUR HELP 

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 ALS United Walk. To bring hope. To raise awareness. To provide resources and services to families free of charge. Will you join us? 

ABOUT 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. 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!
