2024 Walk ALS Georgia

Larry's Legacy

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! Our team, Larry's Legacy, is committed to raising money to support people in our community with ALS and spread awareness of the urgency to find treatments and a cure. 


Please consider joining Larry's Legacy in the Walk ALS Georgia or choose a team member from the list and donate to our cause.  As many of you know, we lost Larry Pickett over 16 years ago at age 49 and a father of two young boys.  ALS is a devastating and always fatal disease.  We continue to walk and raise funds to help find a cure and help those fighting this disease.

 

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 supporting ALS United Georgia 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!
