ALS personally affected our family in more ways than one could imagine. When my father in law was diagnosed in 1990 with ALS I never heard of the disease before. I had no idea what was about to happen, let alone feel the pain I was about to feel. But my father in-law knew... because his own mother & sister had ALS! Dad lost his fight to ALS on March 27, 1992.

The ALS Arizona Chapter provides many services to patients and their families such as Medical Equipment, Respiratory Consultants, Transportation, Respite Care Programs, Support Groups, Children's Programs and so much more.

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.

We?re walking to change the statistics. To bring help and hope to those living with the disease. To give support to the caregivers and families fighting this traumatic and deadly disease.

The past years have brought some advancements in ALS research, it 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 it is not enough !!!

We can?t stop now! The key to a cure starts with all of US. Please consider making a donation to my team. With your help, we will be able to make a difference in the lives of people affected by this disease.
