This is our third year at the ALS Walk for Charlotte's Web of Hope. Charlotte was diagnosed in September of 2017. It has been very difficult for all of us to see her go from a bubbly, chatty, very social lady to not being able to talk or eat. What is more difficult is that there is still very little understanding of what causes this horrible disease, and there is no treatment or cure. It’s more devastating to find out that until the 2014 Ice Bucket Challenge, very little money was spent on research due to the lack of ALS awareness. The good news is, tremendous progress has been made in recent years. There is hope that the outlook for those diagnosed with ALS will soon change for the better. Please join us this year in support of Charlotte's Web of Hope by walking with us on October 3rd or by donating to make a difference in the lives of everyone affected by ALS. Thank you for your continued support and prayers. All the love and support from family and friends is what’s helping her and our entire family stay strong. Remember to enjoy each day and cherish every moment you have with your loved ones.
Thank you in advance for helping us reach our fund raising goal! Together we can make a difference in the lives of those affected by ALS. Our team is committed to raising money to support people in our community with ALS and spread awareness of the urgency to find treatment and a cure.

About ALS
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. 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. Please join the movement to provide help and hope today!
