In March of 2018, Craig was diagnosed with ALS.  The ALS Association in St. Louis is celebrating the 20th Anniversary of the ALS Walk. We had the support of so many friends and family last year at the walk and hope to make it even bigger and better this year! Along with all of you, The ALS Association has been with us every step of the way and supported us in countless ways!!

We would love it if you would join us on the walk. If you can't walk with us, please consider making a donation or fundraising to support this amazing organization. The ALS Association makes such a difference in the lives of people affected by this disease. Giving Hope through ongoing research, giving Courage through their constant support to make the most of every day, and giving Strength through resources and equipment to make up for what ALS steals. Hence, our slogan: "Hope, Courage, Strength."

 

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. WE CAN'T STOP NOW!

Thank you for helping us reach our fundraising 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 treatments and a cure. Please consider joining our team in the Walk to Defeat ALS® or choose a team member from the list and donate to our cause.

Why We Need Your Help

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.

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.

ALS can strike anyone. Presently there is no known cause of the disease, though support is bringing researchers closer to an answer. In the meantime it costs an average of $250,000 a year to provide the care people living with ALS and their families need. Join the movement to bring help and hope today!
