Beth's Brigade
We walk in honor of Beth McNeill; a wife, mother, daughter, sister, aunt, friend, teacher, and faithful believer. Mom was diagnosed with Bulbar-onset ALS in March of 2019. I will never forget the fear I saw in her eyes the day those words were spoken. But my mom was, and will always be, more full of life than anyone I know. She became determined to live; to get every bit of joy and love out of whatever time might be left. She put her trust in God and turned to him more than ever before. Mom truly walked in faith…even when she literally could not walk anymore. This was a faith so big that it turned others to Christ…I can’t think of a better legacy to leave behind. This years walk will mark almost 2 years since mom broke free from the confinement of ALS to dance again, through the gates of Heaven. ALS changed our family forever and while we did not know it before mom’s diagnosis, we know now that we are not unique. For our family, and for all families that have or will be touched by this awful disease, please consider joining our team with ALS United NC!

ABOUT ALS
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. Presently there is no known cause of the disease, yet it still costs loved ones an average of $250,000 a year to provide the care people living with ALS and their families need. Join the movement to provide help and hope today!
