With this foundation, I want to fight ALS so that others will be spared this horrid disease.
For me, our foundation means a great deal. We want to draw attention to ALS and contribute to research to find a cure, as well as be a support for families going through the life crisis that ALS entails.
Our goal is to find a cure for this terrible disease for everyone affected and for their families to receive support and help. Healthcare needs to create a system for those affected, regardless of age, geography or needs.
Being able to help in the work of supporting research and those affected by ALS feels important. I am extremely grateful and honored to be involved in this important work.
