I lost my mom to ALS. In her honor we will be walking and raising money for ALS every chance we get in hopes to one day be a part of the cure. We hope no one or their families ever have to go through this. We’ll also be walking at Citizens Bank Park this fall (date to come) for those interested in walking with us (Team Tazy) or donating

 

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.
