Walk ALS Fort Collins

Becky's Butterflies

Becky’s vibrant life was upended when she was diagnosed with ALS in 2021. She chose to live life to the absolute fullest over the past four years, traveling the country and spending time with her closest friends and family. Becky passed in 2024 and we walk to honor her memory and to find a cure for ALS.

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!
