Thank you for helping me reach my Walk to Defeat ALS® fundraising goal! This is an exciting opportunity for us to work together to support those affected by ALS and to spread awareness of the urgency to find treatments and a cure.

The past three years have brought incredible advancements in ALS research, expanded access to care for people living with ALS, and enabled legislation that impacts the quality of life of people with ALS and their families. WE CAN'T STOP NOW!

Please consider walking with our team  THECATCH#87 or sponsoring our team. With your help, we will be able to make a difference in the lives of people affected by this disease. We walk for our friend, Dwight Clark, who lost his battle in June of 2018. He was a warrior! We will never forget you DC and we will fight for a cure in your memory! We are a group of his closest friends from high school and earlier. He was an incredible human being! A one in a million friend. 

 

 

Why We Need Your Help

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.

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.

ALS can strike anyone. Presently there is no known cause of the disease, though support is bringing researchers closer to an answer. In the mean time it costs an average of $250,000 a year to provide the care people living with ALS and their families need. Join the movement to bring help and hope today!

Thank you for your support!
