Thank you for helping us reach our Walk ALS Greensboro fundraising goal! Together we can make a difference in the lives of those affected by ALS. Our team is committed to raising money to support people in our community with ALS and spread awareness of the urgency to find treatments and a cure. Please consider joining our team in the Walk ALS Greensboro or choose a team member from the list and donate to our cause. 

 

We are walking this year in memory of a great father, husband, brother, son, friend, and veterinarian, Dan Mellinger.  He was diagnosed with ALS in August of 2012, and lost his courageous battle on July 30, 2014.  Even though the disease robbed him of his ability to walk, move, eat, and breathe without assistance, Dan remained extremely positive.  As he faced each day, he lived his motto to "Never Be Daunted!"  He brightened the lives of those around him by maintaining a positive attitude. 

Your donation, regardless of the amount, will help people living with ALS in North Carolina. 

Thank you for your love and support and as always,

Never Be Daunted! 

 

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 Greensboro. 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? 

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!
