Friends and family,

Thank you for being part of my ALS journey and helping me achieve my Walk to Defeat ALS® fundraising goal! It provides a rare opportunity to fight back against this relentless disease.

Since my diagnosis in 2017, I have I have benefitted from recent advancements in ALS research and have witnessed first-hand the support of our wonderful regional ALS support network that helps the local ALS community deal with the many challenges they face.

I would be honored if you would consider making a donation. I can tell you first hand that your help will make a material difference in the lives of people affected by this disease and it will certainly make a difference in my life knowing that I have you on my team, as I navigate my own ALS journey.

God Bless,

Jeff

Why We Need Your Help

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. 

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.

ALS can strike anyone. Presently there is no known cause of the disease, though support is bringing researchers closer to an answer. In the meantime, it costs an average of $250,000 a year to provide the care people living with ALS and their families need. Join the movement to bring help and hope today!
