Friends and Family,
We are participating, yet again, with our awesome fundraising team of Joan's Gems- in the 2024 ALS Walk in Atlanta, on behalf of ALS United Georgia in memory of my mom. I have vowed to serve the ALS patients and cause through Board service and fundraising until we make the much needed progress toward treatment and a cure.
We would love your support in doing the same. Walk with us! Fundraise with us!
There is still no cure, and patients and their families are still suffering with simple, daily tasks. Our fundraising efforts have provided Emory research grants, clinics for patients and families, transportation options, and respite care, but we are a long way from beating this nasty disease. SO LET'S KEEP IT GOING!! Thanks again to everyone for years of continued support and remembrance of our sweet Joanie. With your help, we will be able to make a difference in the lives of people affected by this disease.
Fondly,
Christine
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 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. 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!
