Thanks for visiting our team page. Together we are challenging ALS and making a difference in the lives of those impacted by this devastating disease. We are a part of TeamALS because we are committed to raising money and awareness to support people who are living with ALS. Please join us and help us provide care, advocacy, and research 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.

Every 90 minutes a person in this country is diagnosed with ALS and every 90 minutes someone else loses their battle against this disease. ALS occurs throughout the world with no racial, ethnic, or socioeconomic boundaries. 

In the past year, our family was blindsided when our mom, Kathleen Travers, was diagnosed with ALS. We have also learned that 2 of her late siblings were also affected by ALS, and we now know that it is possible that this could be genetically passed on to the future generations. We never could have imagined such a terrible disease impacting loved ones so close and want to do all that we can to fight for a cure. While we know every day isn't easy for her, we've seen our mom show how truly strong she by not letting this disease stop her from going about her days. She inspires us more than she knows and Caitlin and I want to run to show our support for her and everyone else battling against ALS in hopes of finding a cure for my generation and those after us.

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