Thank you so much for visiting my page to learn more about my late friend, Pam Grayboff, and ALS. Pam fought courageously while living with this disease for 7 years. Her personal fundraising for ALS United is an incredible legacy through which she helped other patients & families receive important services and care.

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 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. I am walking to give them hope.

I am walking in memory of Pam and also in honor of my friend Melissa, who is currently living with ALS.

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.
