the lives of those affected by ALS. Our team is committed to raising money to
support people in our community with ALS and spread awareness of the urgency to
find treatments and a cure. Please consider joining our team in the Walk to

WHY WE NEED YOUR HELP
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.
That’s why
we’re participating in the Walk to Defeat ALS. To bring hope. To raise
awareness. To provide resources and services to families free of charge. To
help unlock the mystery of ALS and find the key to treatments a cure. Will you
join us?
ABOUT ALS
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. Presently there is no known cause of the disease, yet it still
costs loved ones an average of $250,000 a year to provide the care people
living with ALS and their families need. Join the movement to provide help and
hope today!
