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 Walk ALS Georgia, which raises awareness and money to support 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 everyone living with ALS today knows that they are not alone. I’m walking to assure that when they need help, they will be able to get it . I am walking to give them hope.

You may not know anyone with ALS, but you do know me, and 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.
