Welcome to Donna's Page
Hi Everyone,
Dennis' Menaces will walk for our 13th year in memory of my husband, Dennis. He lost his battle with this horrible disease on May 4th, 2014. Since we started walking in 2012 our team as raised $74,000!! It is very important that we find a cure for ALS. Great advances are being made every day. We must continue this fight.
Joining us through the years has been Bob Kubis, who also has ALS. We are honored to walk with Bob and his family. Bob and Linda's son Brian and my son Matt have been friends since their time at UNC. We hope Bob is benefiting from some of the current research that our team and the many others who participate in the WALK have raised money for. Let's keep it up!!
The Walk ALS Triangle 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, 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.
