Meet Ernie in the photo with me....Ernie is a diehrd Nissan and Datsun fan.  Ernie refuses to let his ALS diagnosis stop him from enjoying his cars.  Rather than give up, he continues to fight every day and is truly one of the most inspiring people.  Ernie will be having hand controls installed wtih his Z and Nissan was able to connect him with some partners to have a one off set of suspension made to help lift his z. Join us in walking, raising funds, and awareness for an organization that supports Ernie and his family through this ALS journey. Avondale Nissan is more than a car dealership!  We are FAMILY.  You can join our team or give a donation through this page.  All donations support FREE programs for Ernie and his family as he fights ALS.Thank you for donating and helping me reach my ALS Walk fundraising goal! The Walk to End ALS raises funds to support those affected by ALS and to spread awareness of the urgency to find treatments and a cure. 

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!  

The past few years have brought incredible advancements in ALS research, 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, we can’t stop now! The key to a cure starts with all of US. Please consider walking with me or 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.
