Favorite Quote/Saying: “Tomorrow is never promised. Live, Love, and be happy.”

I walk in hopes for a cure of this horrible disease.  ALS is a thief and needs to be eradicated.  All that being said, we live with ALS.  We will not stop living and creating beautiful memories.  I am blessed, Stan has a beautiful attitude and faces every day with joy and optimism.  Everyone around him can feel his joy and he has taught people so much…Love and prayers to everyone on this journey.

Thank you for helping me reach my United Against ALS Walkathon fundraising goal! The United Against ALS Walkathon raises funds to support those affected by ALS and to spread awareness of the urgency to find treatments and a cure.

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, and presently there is no known cause or cure.

That’s why I’m walking. To change the statistics. To bring help and hope to those living with the disease. To ensure that no one ever hears the words: “You Have ALS” again.

The past two years have brought incredible advancements in ALS research, expanded access to care for people living with ALS, and enabled legislation that impacts the quality of life of people with ALS and their families.

But, we can’t stop now. The key to a cure begins with you.

Please consider walking with me or sponsoring me. With your help, we will be able to make a difference in the lives of people affected by this disease.
