Thank you all for joining the fight to help cure ALS. This team is in memory of Frank Wood. This year is particularly hard for me as I look at our daughter Lynnlee and am reminded of the experiences she and my nephews will miss, as this disease has stolen from my family once again. Our dad was a great pawpa, we got to see a taste with Courtney, Corey and Frankie. What I would not give to see my dad hold our precious Lynnlee. So please donate or participate in anyway you can. Help me ensure others aren't missing loved ones too soon.

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. ALS can strike anyone, and presently there is no known cause or cure.

That's why I'm walking. To change the statistics. To bring help and hope to those living with the disease. To ensure that no one ever hears the words: "You Have ALS" again.

The past two years have brought incredible advancements in ALS research, expanded access to care for people living with ALS, and enabled legislation that impacts the quality of life of people with ALS and their families.

But, we can't stop now. The key to a cure begins with you.

Please consider walking with me or sponsoring me. With your help, we will be able to make a difference in the lives of people affected by this disease.
