I have made it to the 5 year mark! Every day is a gift. It is not easy to treat each day as such but I do know how blessed I am to still be here. I am grateful I get to keep watching my babies grow and see them doing what they love and try new things. I get to keep being by my husband’s side on our journey even though it is not what we planned. I get to keep making memories with my people. I don’t know how much more time I will be blessed with and that is why we walk. We need to continue to raise awareness and funds so research can increase, access to medications can increase, so we can keep hope to the possibilities that a treatment or cure may be in our lifetime.

Join my team, come out and walk with me, make a donation if you can, talk about ALS with your family, friends, coworkers. The more people that are aware of this non-discriminating, life stealing disease the better our chances are for funding research as well as assisting those currently living with ALS and their families.
