2024 Walk ALS Charlotte: Linda W. Shuford-Reeves

THECATCH#87

Thank you for helping me reach my WALK ALS Charlotte fundraising goal. This is an exciting opportunity for us to work together to support those affected by ALS and to spread awareness of the urgency to find treatments and a cure. This is our 7th year walking as THECATCH#87. Dwight Clark was a special friend to each member on this team and we will continue to honor his memory by raising money to find a cure for ALS.

Please consider walking with our team,THECATCH#87, or by sponsoring our team with a donation. With your help, we will be able to make a difference in the ALS world. We walk for Dwight who lost his battle in June 2018. He left us way too soon. We will never forget you DC, you were a one in a million friend and human being.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive, fatal neuromuscular disease that slowly robs the body of its ability to walk, speak, swallow and breathe. The life expectancy of a person with ALS averages 2 to 5 years from the time of diagnosis. ALS can strike anyone, and presently there is no known cause or cure.

That's why I'm walking. To change the statistics. To bring help and hope to those living with the disease. To ensure that no one ever hears the words: "You have ALS" again.

The past two years have brought incredible advancements in ALS research, expanded access to care for people living with ALS, and enabled legislation that impacts the quality of life of people with ALS and their families.

But we can't stop now. The key to a cure begins with you.

Please consider walking with me or sponsoring me. With your help, we will be able to make a difference in the lives of people affected by this disease.
