Thank you for helping our team support the Walk to Defeat ALS fundraising goal! The Walk to Defeat ALS raises funds to support those affected by ALS and to spread awareness of the urgency to find treatments and a cure.

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, and presently there is no known cause or cure.

At National Jewish Health, we see the amazing work that ALS United does to support our patients. That’s why we are walking. To bring help and hope to those living with the disease. To support our patient's with tools to manage their symptoms, and optimize their quality of life despite this progressive condition.

Please consider walking with the NJH multi-disciplinary clinic providers or sponsoring us. With your help, we will be able to make a difference in the lives of people affected by this disease.
