Welcome to My Personal Page!

If you're here, you know how passionate I am about helping anyone in need. You're here because at some point in the past three years, you have asked me, "What can I do to help you and your family?"
For me and my family, the answer is to participate (as a donor, walker, or both!) in Walk ALS Georgia, which raises awareness and funds to support Georgians living with ALS.
As you may know, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neuromuscular disease that slowly robs a person of the ability to walk, speak, swallow, and breathe. ALS cares nothing of a patient’s race, religion, ethnicity, gender, or age – it is highly heterogeneous, from its disease pathology to its progression. However, the ultimate reality that ALS cruelly robs people of their abilities to walk, talk, swallow, and breathe is universal among all patients.
I am walking so that, one day, when Georgians 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 Georgians 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 ALS United of Georgia as did Greg and our family! I am walking to give others hope.
The ALS community has made more progress in clinical research, drug approvals, and legislative support in the past five years than it has in the past fifty years! Please, help us keep this momentum going! Consider joining our team or making a gift to support our family's team. Either way, with your help, we can enhance the lives of people living with ALS, every day until ALS is a treatable disease instead of a fatal one.
Thank you for your consideration and support!
Judy
