Awooooo! I am Gamma, one of the wolves of Moonlight Ridge, the blue one! Very nice to meet you and welcome! This is a personal favorite event of mine and one I have absolutely loved doing for nearly 7 years now! (Minus a couple years I couldn't attend, Covid being one lol). Never give up! Whatever you set your heart out to do, you can achieve it! The determination to defeat ALS at this event is nothing short of inspiring, and if you know me, you know I don't stop until the task is complete! So are you ready for the challenge? :)

 

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 joining me at the walk - we will walk and roll together, united with wheelchairs and scooters, families, neighbors and friends, strollers and pets – all are welcome!  If you can't make it to the walk, please consider making a donation. With your support, we can make a difference in the lives of people affected by this disease right here in North Carolina.
