I will be walking this year to support ALS and ask that you join me by supporting the cause.  My Grandma Staebell was diagnosed in May 2018 with ALS and lost her battle in October 2020.  This is the second time my family has been directly affected by this disease since my great uncle and grandma's brother Bobby was diagnosed in 1991 and lost his battle to ALS in 1991.  This horrible disease has no treatment or cure so I am walking to continue the research and support families who are affected by ALS.  Any support you can give me and our team would be greatly appreciated - money, prayers, or even join our team.

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.
