For a moment, consider this:
What if One Million people, were to give $1?
A.L.S., also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease, can strike anyone of us. In fact, without warning it happens to 15 people each day in the US. These people are told that they will only have 2-5 years to live. How would you handle such tragic information? ALS slowly takes away your ability to move, speak, swallow and ultimately breathe. There is absolutely no cure... YET.
It is time for each of us to shake the dust from our shoes and seize THIS moment. Join Ben Davis as he takes on 2,175 miles from Maine to Georgia along the Appalachian Trail - the equivalent of 83 marathons in 66 days - to make an impact on the ALS community.
To reach One Million, we must first reach the One Person. Please DONATE $1 today. Together, we WILL make a difference.
