James and Grace were only 5 and 3 when we found out that their father had ALS. Grace has few memories of him not in a wheelchair. James lost his lacrosse buddy and coach. He never really played again. I lost greatest love and best friend. The world lost an amazing man, role model, and leader.
Tracey is still in her battle. Her family still watches her struggle and strength. Together we fight for a cure, so others don’t have to experience their pain, and ours. Join us to defeat ALS.
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, yet it still costs loved ones an average of $250,000 a year to provide the care people living with ALS and their families need. Join the movement to provide help and hope today!
