Dear Family, Friends and Neighbors,
Once again we will be having our own Super Hero themed ALS Mini Walk to fundraise and show support for my brother Scott. The date is Saturday June 5th. This year, the walk will take place at Scott and Lori’s. The address is 46 W. 66th Street in Westmont. We will gather in the parking lot/ patio area.  Please arrive by 9:45 and feel free to accessorize in any super hero items you may have!  We will take a short walk at 10 am and then gather for a visit to support Scott. Please join us. It would mean so much to see you there. If you are unable to attend, please consider a donation to our team "Go Scott Go".  We rely on our chapter services and this fundraiser is an excellent way to give back as well as fund research for a cure.
Please let me know if you are able to attend in person as there will be a little victory celebration after and I want to have enough snacks and space for everyone!

Thank you,

Cindy

Thank you for helping me reach my Walk to Defeat ALS® fundraising goal! The Walk to Defeat ALS raises funds to support those affected by ALS and to spread awareness of the urgency to find treatments and a cure.

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.
