Welcome to the Hackett Clan!

As many of you may know, the Hackett Clan walks in honor of Mike and Diane Hackett, Colin's father and grandmother who lost their lives to ALS. We walk in order to raise money and awareness for a disease so close to our hearts.

This Hackett Clan is the second annual resurgence of the Original Hackett Clan out of Severna Park, MD, that for years raised over $100,000 dollars in support of ALS research and awareness! 

WHY WE NEED YOUR HELP

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.

That’s why we’re participating in Walk ALS. To bring hope. To raise awareness. To provide resources and services to families free of charge. To help conquer the mystery of ALS and find the key to treatments a cure. Will you join us?

ABOUT ALS

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 a person with ALS averages 2 to 5 years from the time of diagnosis.

ALS can strike anyone. Presently there is no known cause of the disease, yet it still costs loved ones an average of $250,000 a year to provide the care people living with ALS and their families need. Join the movement to provide help and hope today!
