- In memory of Valerie, we're supporting those who are fighting for their lives by participating in the ALS Walk Broward. Please join "Team Val" and walk with the Kitchens-Lingerfelt family or donate in memory of Valerie. I personally thank all who participated last year and look forward to seeing you this year.
Sincerely,
Kit Kitchens
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!
