Hello!

Thank you for visiting our team's 2024 Walk ALS Georgia fundraising page. We are looking forward to walking united for a cure on Walk Day and hope you will join us. If you want to walk with us – or support a team member who is walking – you are in the right place!

2024!! Team Travis is celebrating 18 years in partnership with ALS United of Georgia!!! Please join us this year in memory of the loved ones lost to familial ALS and to help create a cure for the next generation! As always we truly appreciate all your love and support! GO TEAM TRAVIS 

Again we walk for all of those family members lost to this disease: Dan Garnsey, David Travis, Eleanor Travis Garnsey, Chuck Travis, and Myrtle Travis. We walk for a cure to find a cure for the next generation.  

Often referred to as Lou Gehrig's Disease, 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 an ALS patient averages 2 to 5 years from the time of diagnosis.

 The above five are the only ones officially diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's disease but there are older generations with evidence of the disease that can be traced all the way back to Germany with the origins of ALS. 

Now Team Travis is in the hands of Dan Garnsey's family. Captained by Liz Garnsey who was confirmed positive with the the S0D1 gene mutation in 2022 . We intend to stop ALS in its tracks. This fight doesn't end without a cure!

Thank you to everyone from TEAM TRAVIS

Every 90 minutes. That’s how often someone learns they’ve been diagnosed with ALS. In that moment, their life is changed forever. And from that moment on, they are left to navigate an unknown future - a future living with ALS. 

Every 90 minutes. That’s how often someone living with ALS loses his battle because there is no cure for this disease.

We are walking so Georgians living with ALS can get the support they need to live a full life post-diagnosis. It costs on average $250,000 a year to provide the care people living with ALS and their families need. Walk ALS Georgia raises money to provide local care services like direct financial support, respite care, transportation services, and equipment loans to help alleviate that cost for families in Georgia.

We are also walking to support research efforts into treatments and a cure so that an ALS diagnosis is not fatal. Until that day, we will walk on. Join us!
