I want my team “Tony’s Troop” to be the biggest on Walk day because this year is the 25th anniversary of my ALS diagnosis.

We need your support, so please do anything you can; register online, make a donation to support my efforts and join me on Walk day.  Please make checks payable to The ALS Association.  I am so excited to have you by my side at the Walk to Defeat ALS®.  Your decision to join my team and to take a stand against Lou Gehrig’s Disease means a lot to me. Thank you so much and I look forward to seeing you at the St. Louis Walk to Defeat ALS®.

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 though support is bringing researchers closer to an answer. In the mean time it costs 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.
