My Story…
I've ran 2 Marathons, several Half marathons, and countless 5Ks. All to benefit my personal growth. This time, I choose to walk with intention for a bigger purpose.
I joined "Kristy's Tribe" team at the Cleveland Marathon on May 20th with my crusader cousin Jill Judy Kline to raise funds and awareness for ALS research and support of my dear sister-in-law Kristy Judy (brother Roger's wife) who is currently fighting this courageous battle of ALS. Every 90 minutes, someone is diagnosed with the disease, and someone passes away from it. ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. Sadly, there is no cure for ALS yet.
For those that know Kristy, she one incredible woman who has always approached life with love, faith, determination, resilience, and a positive feisty spirit. However, ALS has presented her with an unimaginable challenge. Despite the physical and emotional hurdles she faces daily, she continues to fight with unwavering strength and an inspiring attitude. SHE is truly OUR inspiration.
Kristy is using her diagnosis as a platform and documenting her journey to help others in the future. Kristy lives out of state which makes helping her hands-on challenging. We will be walking in Cleveland on May 20th to support her and the ALS community.
If you would like to walk with us, we welcome you!
If you have the means to donate any denomination, our family and the ALS community would be greatly appreciated.
If prayer is a part of your practice, let us create a powerful wave of positive energy, love, and healing intentions for Kristy.
