Thank you for supporting my ALS United Spike Out Volleyball fundraiser event being held on April 15th, 2026.. Your support is more than a donation, it’s a lifeline for people living with ALS, a spark of hope, and a step toward a world without this devastating disease.

ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) is a cruel, relentless disease that slowly takes away the things we often take for granted: the ability to walk, to speak, to swallow, to breathe. Most people diagnosed live for just 2 to 5 years. ALS doesn’t discriminate, it can touch anyone, at any time. And right now, there is no known cause and no cure.

I’m hosting this fundraiser in honor of my dad. He was diagnosed with ALS in July and founded the Emmaus Boys Volleyball program back in 1974. I would like to honor him and thank him for his years of coaching and for starting the program, which my son and brother are and have been a part of.

The past several years have brought real progress: breakthroughs in research, expanded care, and laws that help families living with ALS. But progress alone is not enough. Every step we take together brings us closer to a cure, and closer to changing lives right now.

Please join me on our ALS fundraiser night or send in a donation. Every donation, every step, every act of support sends a powerful message: we will not give up. Together, we can bring hope where there is fear, and light where there is darkness.

ALS may be relentless, but so are we.
