Thank you for helping me reach my ALS Walk fundraising goal! 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.


My grandma, Debbie, was diagnosed with ALS in the April of 2015 and passed away in the December of 2016 at the young age of 64. I was 7 when she passed, so luckily I still have memories of her and memories of our experiences together, but not enough. She was funny, kind, and loved knitting. She loved egg rolls and all Chinese food, and most importantly she loved being a mother and grandmother. 


After she was diagnosed, our family became more involved in the ALS Association, and to this day we endeavor to raise money and awareness. We want to strive towards a future where this disease will not take the lives of those closest to us and cause immense pain to our loved ones. Please help us raise money and awareness by donating, and if you are willing and able, please sign up for this year's ALS walk on April 8th and join Team Debbie.


Thank you so much for whatever you can contribute!
