Well, I made it another year! I can no longer do the things I was able to do in all the years prior with this disease. ALS has taken away my ability to walk without my walker or my electric scooter. Everyday tasks Have become more difficult And the financial strain Of not being able to work Has had a negative effect on our budget. However, fundraising and advocacy work give me strength, hope, courage and motivation. I am inspired to help others through their ALS journey. I am so grateful to have such an incredible team who show up for me and my family every year for this fundraising walk. My family and I are forever grateful and I could not be where I am today without all of you. YOU GIVE ME PURPOSE!! I hope you'll join me again this year by helping me fundraise and walking as a team and make a huge impact to people with ALS in our community. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Kelly

ABOUT ALS  

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. Presently there is no known cause of the disease, yet it still costs loved ones an average of $250,000 a year to provide the care people living with ALS and their families need. Join the movement to provide help and hope today!
