Thank you for helping me reach my Walk ALS Greensboro fundraising goal! The Walk ALS Greensboro raises funds to support the ALS community in North Carolina and to build ALS awareness to find treatments and a cure.

 

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive, fatal disease that slowly robs the body of its ability to walk, talk, swallow and breathe. As you are aware, my sister Connie Leonard was diagnosed with ALS earlier this year. She has been an amazing inspiration to me - how does one accept this terrible diagnosis with such grace? That's why I'm walking.  To build a future without ALS.  To bring help and hope to patients and families affected by this terrible disease, in the hopes that one day ALS is a disease of the past. I can't change the outcome for my sister, but I sure hope we can KICK ALS in the near future. 

 

Over the past few years, there have been advancements in ALS research, as well as expanded resources and access to care for people living with ALS.  

 

But now, more than ever, we need to keep the momentum going.  We need to continue to push for more treatments and find a cure for ALS.

 

Please consider making a donation. With your support, we can make a difference in the lives of people affected by this disease right here in North Carolina.
