I am walking for a cure in honor of my amazing mother in law Angie Ezelle. If you know Angie, you know her heart. It's evident in everything she does. The way she cares for others, the way she loves those around her, and the way she makes you feel like you're at home in her presence are some of the few things I cherish about her. She's been more than a mother in law to me, but a friend, an encourager, and a steady person I can count on.

If you don't know, Angie was diagnosed with ALS, 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. And that's why I am choosing to walk. To raise awareness and funds for research on ALS so that when someone hears those awful letters, there can one day be hope instead of grief.

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.
