Welcome to My Personal Page
When someone you love gets diagnosed with ALS, the first thing you ask is what can I do to help? For many people like me, the answer is to participate in raising money, awareness and support for those living with ALS.
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neuromuscular disease that slowly robs a person of the ability to walk, speak, swallow, and breathe. It can strike anyone and, although there has been a lot of advancements in ALS research, we still don’t know what causes it. An ALS diagnosis is fatal because there is no cure.
I am walking so that, one day, when someone hear the words, “You have ALS,” it will no longer mean that they likely will die within two to five years. I am walking so that people living with ALS today know that they are not alone. I’m walking to assure that when they need help, they will be able to get it from the ALS Association. I am walking to give them hope and so one day no one has to hear "you have ALS".
You may not know anyone with ALS, but you do know me, and many of you knew Kent. I am asking for your support. Will you please consider joining me to make strides in the fight against ALS? You can join our team or make a gift to support our team. Either way, with your help, we can enhance the lives of people living with ALS, every day until we find a cure.
