This September, I’m lacing up my sneakers and joining ALS United of Georgia for Walk ALS Georgia—a movement that raises awareness and funds to support Georgians living with ALS.

I’m walking in honor of my incredible mom, Andra Weber, who passed away in February after a courageous battle with ALS. She was kind, creative, and full of love, and I want to carry her spirit forward by helping others facing this disease.

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.

ALS is relentless, but so are we. Every donation—big or small—makes a difference. You may not know anyone with ALS, but you do know me, and I am asking for your support. You can join our team or make a gift to support our team. 

Please consider making a gift to support this walk. Whether it’s $5 or $500, your support helps provide care, fund research, and bring hope to families affected by ALS. Let’s make an impact together. Thank you for your love, generosity, and support!
