Eddie's Eagles Continues to Soar
Eddie's Eagles has participated in the Walk to Defeat ALS every year since 2009 and has raised over $180,000 for the Jim "Catfish" Hunter Chapter of the ALS Association in memory of my brother, Eddie Rabenda, who passed away from ALS in September 2014. Eddie's Eagles will continue to fight this year and every year until there is a cure. Register and donate today to help get Eddie's Eagles one step closer to reaching our goal and stay tuned for more information on this year's Triangle Walk - Saturday, April 20!

The Walk ALS United raises funds to support the ALS community in North Carolina 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 joining me at the walk - we will walk and roll together, united with wheelchairs and scooters, families with 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.
