OUR FINISH LINE SAYS ALS DONE!
During the summer of 2020, my mom experienced difficulty in using her finger while trying to press down the nozzle on a bottle of bug spray, prior to going for a jog in the state forest with my dad near their house. After many months of medical tests, she received a diagnosis for one of the worst diseases you can get; ALS, a terminal illness for which there is currently no cure and barely any effective treatments available.
Despite becoming progressively more disabled from the disease, she continues to relentlessly advocate for herself and others who are living with ALS. She is active in an ALS legislative affairs team and spent much of the summer of 2021 physically going to senator and representative meet-and-greets to advocate for the ACT for ALS legislation, which finally passed earlier this year.
I am running in the Falmouth Road Race this year on the ALS ONE team in honor of my mom and everyone else who is living with and has died from this horrible disease. If you're able, please consider donating to my fundraiser. Your donation goes to a combination of both ALS care and research efforts. Thank you!
