Team Alicia's Anchors & Elephants
Please consider joining my team to walk to defeat ALS. I'm one of many that faces the challenges of this illness everyday. We need awareness, we need a cure! Many people do not know about ALS until they are touched by it. My family and friends know the realities all too well. We are blessed to have a village supporting us each and every day. Together we walk by faith even when we cannot see. Join our village! This year the event is virtual. You can walk where you are, or if you are a local we will do a local walk here in Hernando. More info to come.
I "walk" for me and my friend Emily Grenn Gray and everyone else out there living with ALS!

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!
