Thank you for helping me reach my Walk to Defeat ALS fundraising goal! The Walk to Defeat ALS raises funds to support those affected by ALS and to spread awareness of the urgency to find treatments and a cure. As many of you know, I have the honor to help plan, steward, and lead our Walk to Defeat ALS efforts in Tennessee. While the task seems daunting at times, I am so encouraged by the outpouring of support from our Team Captains and Walkers. We are truly all in this together!

For those not familiar with 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, and presently there is no known cause or cure.

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. Thank you in advance for helping me reach my fundraising goal!
