We're walking in remembrance of my mom, Barbara. She passed away in January 2024 and we've certainly felt her absence. The sounds of the sewing machine are greatly missed. Thank you for donating of you can and helping me reach my Walk to Defeat ALS fundraising goal! The Walk to Defeat ALS raises funds to support those affected by ALS and to spread awareness of the urgency to find treatments and a cure. If you can't donate at this time we absolutley understand and appreciate your support nonetheless. If you are in Tucson on October 25th and have time- join us at the Walk! 

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 support the caregivers who help their loved one fight this disease.   To ensure that no one ever hears the words: “You Have ALS” again!
