Thank you for helping us honor the loving memory of Scott Foster and to reach our fund raising goal! Scott Foster was diagnosed with ALS in 2010 and fell victim to this disease on July 1, 2014 at the young age of 49. Scott was a husband, father, son, brother, grandfather, cousin and friend among so many roles for many people. He captivated rooms and would do anything for anyone. Together we can make a difference to remember Scott's life and courageous battle, as well as to help the lives of others 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.

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 us in the walk for Team Scott!
