Welcome to the Valdez Fundraising Page!
Thank you for donating towards our ALS Virtual 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.
We are supporting our dear friend Staci, who is bravely battling ALS. Every day is a struggle for her, but she is positive, courageous and one hell of a fighter! We are also walking in memory of my uncle, who lost his battle with ALS in 2009.
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 we're 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 virtually with us or making a donation to our team. With your help, we will be able to make a difference in the lives of people affected by this disease.
