5 years since Mom passed away from ALS and man do I miss her. I know I'm not alone in that sentiment. She was the greatest of all time mom, wife, sister, aunt, daughter, friend, and colleague. Lucky us, right? RIGHT! So let's support her and all of the PALS and their families again this year through our walk fundraiser.
The ALS Association Mid-America Chapter is bringing back the in person event on September 25th. While I gather my team together and determine walk details please consider donating to this important cause and join my team if you would like to fundraise and/or walk with me! Your support is much appreciated!
Love,
Taylor
Why We Need Your Help
Often referred to as Lou Gehrig's Disease, 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 an ALS patient averages 2 to 5 years from the time of diagnosis.
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 crippling disease can strike anyone. Presently there is no known cause of the disease yet it still costs loved ones an average of $200,000 a year to provide the care ALS patients need. Help make a difference and donate or join a walk today.
