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 walkALS Georgia, which raises awareness and money to support Georgians living with ALS.

I have been blessed to ride in the fight to end MS for many years and been blessed to have my wife support and ride as well.  Now she asked me to join her on this walk to help in the fight to end ALS, it was an easy decision.  I cherish your prayers and consideration of support!  

I have known quite a few people who have had a diagnosis of ALS, many of you know what that means. Heartbreaking but yet I have seen them continue to be hopeful even in the face of what lies ahead.   

I have been blessed to ride for to help fight MS in the past and when my wife suggested we do this walk this year-- easy choice to walk for those who cannot. 

Hope you will join be by joining in on the walk or "sending" us by donating today.

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.

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.
