Gayle & I walked 2 miles in the Walk ALS NC to honor our nieces husband, MARK ELDRIDGE, who lives in Ohio and was diagnosed with ALS about two years ago.  Yeah, I know this is NC, but donations also fund research that can, hopefully, help all who battle this disease!

Thank you for helping me reach my Walk ALS Triangle fundraising goal! The Walk ALS Triangle raises funds to support the ALS community 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. The life expectancy of a person with ALS averages 2 to 5 years from the time of diagnosis. ALS can strike anyone, at any age and there is still no known cause or cure.

 

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. 

 

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.
