Many of you know, but most do not, that my brother John died in May 2025, after a courageous battle 2 year (likely more) with the brutal disease of 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, and presently there is no known cause or cure.

I am walking in the Denver event on Sunday, October 5th to hopefully change those statistics. To bring help and hope to those living with the disease. To ensure that no one ever hears the words: ?You Have ALS? again.

I am walking under the Team of Barbara Walker; Johnny's Barbara and wife.  Yes, we both have Barbara's!  

The past two years have brought incredible advancements in ALS research, expanded access to care for people living with ALS, and enabled legislation that impacts the quality of life of people with ALS and their families.

But, we can?t stop now. The key to a cure begins with you.

Please consider sponsoring me. I know you have many opportunities to support worth causes, so no pressure and just know that I appreciate you all in many ways.  I just hope that we will be able to make a difference in the lives of people affected by this disease.

Thank you for helping me reach my Walk ALS Denver fundraising goal!
