Thank you for visiting the Team Everett site and my page. Our family and this community lost a very special person to ALS. My brother Jimmy fought this disease to the bitter end, therefore we are carrying on his fight in the hope that others will not have to suffer his fate. The Tallahassee Walk to Defeat ALS(R) is an exciting opportunity for us to work together to support those affected by Lou Gehrig's Disease,  support their families as well, and spread awareness of the urgency to find treatments and a cure. Together we can make a difference in the lives of those affected by Lou Gehrigs Disease.

Please consider sponsoring me, or any other member of Team Everett, with a tax deductible donation to ALS. With your help we will be able to make a difference in the lives of people affected by this horrific disease. I encourage you to also get your friends, family, neighbors and coworkers involved!

Walk to Defeat ALS(R), walk in memory of Jimmy Everett, and walk because you can!

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 though support is bringing researchers closer to an answer. In the mean time it costs 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.

Thank you!! :) Geni
