2024 Walk ALS Georgia

Isaiah4113

Hello!

 

Thank you for visiting Team Isaiah 4113'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!

 

 

 

For I am the Lord your God
    who takes hold of your right hand
and says to you, Do not fear;
    I will help you.

    - Isaiah 41:13

This is the scripture our Mom, Corie Denning, chose to be her scripture after receiving a diagnosis of ALS in July of 2021.  

Every 90 minutes, 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. 

Mom is choosing to live her blessed life navigating this sometimes funny, sometimes scary, often frustrating ALS journey while trusting in the Lord to help her and our family through this.

 

Every 90 minutes. That’s how often someone living with ALS loses their battle because there is no cure for this disease. As a family, we have no where to turn to except God and each other as we try to find hope, meaning, and purpose in Mom's ALS journey.

 

As a family, 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. Majority of families cannot afford this, and often insurance does not cover enough of the cost of care. 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. Our family has personally benefited from financial care and support from Walk ALS Georgia.

 

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