In March 2020, Kathy was diagnosed with ALS. While the care she received from her neurologist and the ALS Care Services team was amazing and supportive, ALS was very aggressive. On 8/2/2020 Kathy passed away. Kathy loved her entire family and the many people she met during her travels.
It’s for Kathy - aka Goofy Grape - that I participate in the annual ALS Walk fundraiser. The Walk 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.
