As some of you may know, my father Michael, was diagnosed with ALS in January, 2022 and has been fighting, like the rock of our family that he is, ever since. It is my goal to not only raise awareness, but to fight for a cure with him and my family.
On September 24th, I’m challenging myself to do more for people and families living with ALS by participating in the first-ever Revolution Ride, biking 40km in Dundas, Ontario — a volunteer-powered, fundraising event held in support of ALS Canada. The ALS community needs our support to provide hope and help to families affected by ALS.
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (also known as ALS, Lou Gehrig’s disease, or motor neuron disease) is a disease that gradually paralyzes a person as their brain is no longer able to communicate with muscles that they are typically able to move at will. As the muscles of the body break down, someone living with ALS will lose the ability to walk, talk, eat, swallow, and eventually breathe.
I want to contribute to a future without ALS, which is why I’m gearing up for the Revolution Ride on September 24, in Dundas, Ontario. I hope I can count on you for support.
Please consider donating to my team fundraising page as we work towards a future without ALS.
Your support is needed now more than ever - we are stronger together!
