OUR FINISH LINE SAYS ALS DONE!
Hi friends & family,
Once again, I am excited to run the Falmouth Road Race for the ALS ONE Team 💚💙
My dad, Steve Marshalek, was diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease) in March 2024.
ALS is a chronic and fatal condition that causes progressive weakness of the muscles, impacting movement, speech, swallowing, and breathing.
There is no known cure; however:
ALS is not an incurable disease. It is an underfunded one.
My dad and I ran the Falmouth Road Race together in 2019 and 2022. I am hopeful that this year’s ALS ONE Team will raise enough money that will go towards research to finally find a cure for this horrible disease.
I want to run with my dad again.
💙💚
Abby
