Thank you for helping me reach my ALS United Walk fundraising goal! 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.

 My late husband Rich Kelley was diagnosed with ALS in 1998 losing his battle 5 years later. Throughout that period, we received support from this ALS organization. The money raised has and continues to go towards much needed research, patient care services such as in home care, equipment, ramping and support of the ALS Centers such as the one at Penn State Hershey Medical Center.

 

I am walking 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 few 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.
