Calling all superheroes! Have you heard the BIG news? During this time of constant change and adaptation, the ALS Association is also changing and adapting. We are planning to make one huge splash, think tidal wave splash size, on September 11 when the whole state of Minnesota will walk together for ALS awareness. I NEED YOU! Team HOPE#4G needs you.
I know September 11 feels like a very long way away, but I’m asking you to support team HOPE#4G and register to walk with my team today. It brings me hope and joy to see how many people support me. There really are no words to explain how blessed I feel by my circle of friends, family, coworkers, acquaintances, and fellow Als warriors.
Because the actual event is very up in the air, damn you Covid, there is no fee to join team HOPE#4G! Obviously this is a fundraiser however and I would greatly appreciate any donations. I’m looking for a huge team this year, let’s break some records! Here is some amazing details on what we’ve been able to accomplish as a team the last three years.
SuperHero Dash
2018 $ 21,638 104 ppl
2019 $ 34,577 211 ppl
2020 $ 16,370 60 ppl
Amazing! There’s really no words to thank everyone who has joined or donated to team HOPE#4G. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! It won’t be easy but I’ve set my team goal at $20,000. That’s less than 2018 and 2019, but more than 2020 when things were really up in the air and crazy. There’s no words for me to explain how important the ALS Association has been in my life. They are the most wonderful people ever, and are always there supporting me when I need something!please help me get back to this amazing organization that helps so many people in Minnesota deal with their ALS diagnosis and progression. I would love to hear any ideas for fundraisers that could help achieve my fundraising goal.
WHY I NEED YOUR HELP
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. To put that into perspective, think of your last seven hour Netflix binge, during that time approximately 10 people were either diagnosed with ALS or lost their battle. ALS occurs throughout the world with no regard for age, gender, race, ethnicity, or socioeconomic boundaries.
That's why I'm asking you to participate alongside me in the fall Walk to Defeat ALS. To bring hope. To raise awareness. To provide resources and services to families free of charge. To help unlock the mystery of ALS and find the key to treatments, better yet 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. Although the more I learn the more I realize every single ALS patient is on an individual journey with no real timeline. Look at me I’m still walking, or maybe shuffling would be a better word to describe it, 4 years post diagnosis. I will be here years to come haranguing all of you into participating in this walk year after year! You’re all so lucky!😂
