Hershey ALS United Walk

ALSTARS

Thank you for supporting our ALS United Walk Fundraiser!

United against ALS, we can make a difference in the lives of those affected by this devastating disease. Our team is committed to raising funds to support people in our local community living with ALS, while spreading awareness of the urgent need for treatments and a cure.


November 2024 changed the lives of the Kowalik's forever when my Dad, Michael, heard the words, "You have ALS". We're joining the walk in memory of him.

Why We Need Your Help
Every 90 minutes, someone in this country is diagnosed with ALS. Every 90 minutes, another person loses their battle with this disease. ALS does not discriminate, it can strike anyone, anywhere, regardless of race, ethnicity, or income.

That’s why we walk. To bring hope. To raise awareness. To provide critical resources and services to families free of charge. Your support can make a real, immediate impact. Will you join us?

 
About ALS
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive, fatal neuromuscular disease that slowly robs the body of the ability to walk, speak, swallow, and breathe. The average life expectancy from diagnosis is just 2 to 5 years.

There is currently no known cause or cure. On top of the emotional toll, caring for a loved one with ALS costs an average of $250,000 per year. By joining the ALS United Walk, you can provide help, hope, and a lifeline to families facing this devastating disease.

Together, we can make a difference.
