Hi Team,
It's that time again! It's been 2 years and 4 months since I lost my sister Kat. Everyday I miss her dearly and never take one day for granted. Since the I have lost a friend Brian as well. I know of 4 more people who were diagnosed with the awful disease. Still no cure or treatment in sight. I want to share the need for your support.
My goal is to get as many people on my team to support the memory of my sister Kat. If you would take the time to click on the JOIN MY TEAM Button it would mean the world to me. You can walk or donate. Our Awesome Team is called Kickin ALS for Kat! So excited to see how many . Thanks for your love and support.

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 yet it still costs loved ones 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.
