I'm walking for ALS again, my fourteenth year.  I am walking in honor of BILL MOTLEY as well as in memory of  Ross Baker 2010, Loretta Karlander 2009, Tracy Carroll 2004 and Herman Payne 1972. 

Thankfully the Ice Bucket Challenge has brought more awareness to ALS.  Unfortunately we still don't have any survivor stories, so it is crucial that we do everything to help find a cure for ALS, commonly known as Lou Gehrig's Disease, especially for people like my friend Bill Motley who is still dealing with the effects of ALS.  

I hope that you can walk or donate (or both) to this worthy cause.  It would be great to have survivor stories instead of death sentences.  Several Medical Colleges have discovered some wonderful break-throughs in their research.  This is all the more reason that we need to help fund the research that they are doing.

Please help me reach my Walk to Defeat ALS(TM) fundraising goal! This is an exciting opportunity for us to work together to support those affected by Lou Gehrig's Disease and to spread awareness of the urgency to find treatments and a cure.

Please consider walking with The Motley Crew or sponsoring me. The 2 mile walk is scheduled for Saturday, March 9, 2019 at the ELVA ROUSE PARK in St. Petersburg.  With your help, we will be able to make a difference in the lives of people affected by this disease. I encourage you to get your friends, family, neighbors and coworkers involved! Thank you for anything that you can do, no matter how large or how small, everything counts. Maybe we can SAVE Bill Motley’s life.  Start your own team, raise funds, donate or simply walk.  WALK  BECAUSE  YOU  CAN.  The more people that walk, the more awareness it brings, just like the Ice Bucket Challenge has done.  It all helps.  Again, Thank You.
