Walk ALS Triangle

Walk for EGRAF

Hello friends,


As you may know, my husband, Eric, passed away almost a year ago this month.  Eric was highly active in his work and his hobbies.  He had no prior health issues and was living a great life. When he became ill, we had so many questions- why him? How did he develop ALS?  What can we do to slow the progression?  Why isn't there anything to really help us fight the disease?  We had more questions than answers.  This is why we need to support ALS research and walk to honor Eric, known to many of his friends as EGRAF. 


His passing last April was a significant loss to our family of 7.  Our five kids were thriving, and Eric had so much to do with their success and development, not to mention being my rock and best friend.  


Below is a little bit about ALS and ALS United. Please take a moment to support our family, Eric, and the fight against ALS. We need ALS Warriors to help us with this fight!

WHY WE NEED YOUR HELP 

Every 90 minutes a person in this country is diagnosed with ALS and every 90 minutes another person will lose their battle against this disease. ALS occurs throughout the world with no racial, ethnic, or socioeconomic boundaries. 
That’s why we’re participating in the Walk ALS Triangle. To bring hope. To raise awareness. To provide resources and services to families free of charge. To help unlock the mystery of ALS and find the key to treatments a cure. Will you join us? 

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!
