Hellllooooo everyone! This year I’m joining Darina in running the Chicago Marathon! We’re running for her amazing, beautiful, and hilarious mom Miss Sally. She has been bravely fighting ALS since 2021 and I’m so so honored to be part of team ALS to help raise awareness and funds for this cause. These two incredible women truthfully deserve the whole world and more, I really would do anything for them (that includes running 26.2 miles) 

 

TeamALS is an exciting opportunity for us to work together to support those affected by ALS and to spread awareness of the urgency of our cause and to push for 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.

 

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. 

 

This is why challenging ALS is important to me. To bring hope. To raise awareness. To provide resources and services to families free of charge. I'm asking for your help. Please donate and help defeat ALS!
