Thank you!
Thank you for helping Team Helion reach our fund raising goal! Together we can make a difference in the lives of those affected by Lou Gehrig's Disease. Our team is committed to raising money to support people in our community with ALS and spread awareness of the urgency to find treatment and a cure.
Please consider joining Team Helion in the Walk to Defeat ALS? or choose a team member from the list and donate to our cause.
Why We Need Your Help
Often referred to as Lou Gehrig's Disease, 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 an ALS patient 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.
This crippling disease can strike anyone. Presently there is no known cause of the disease yet it still costs loved ones an average of $200,000 a year to provide the care ALS patients need. Help make a difference and donate or join a walk today.
To make a donation, click on a favorite Team Member's name, then click on the small "Make a gift!" link under the picture of a thermometer. (It's going to be hard to catch up to Toby Norris!)
While folks are encouraged to volunteer and/or donate to the cause, all are invited to come out to show support and enjoy free food and drink with us. There are NO fees or donations required to participate!
Did you know, on average $0.91 of every dollar raised through the Walk to Defeat ALS(tm) supports the mission of The ALS Association?
New team members: Please be patient, as it takes some time for your name to show up on the list.
