It's that time of year again. I'm participating in the 2025 Colfax Marathon to raise funds and awareness to help fight against the horrific disease ALS. 

​As most of you know, my Dad lost his battle with ALS 8 years ago. It's such a horrific disease. Watching him suffer and go through his battle was so hard. It's a long hard journey for individuals affected by the disease, and for the family and friends of those individuals.

The ALS Association provides much needed patient services resources, funds global, cutting edge research, and much more in order to help those living with ALS right in our community.

This is an exciting opportunity for us to work together to support those affected by ALS and to spread awareness of the urgency of our cause and to push for treatments and a cure.

Challenging ALS is important to me. I'm asking for your help. Please make a donation in support of me and ALS or sign up to be a volunteer today.

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.

That’s why I’m running. To change the 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.

Thank you for helping me reach my Run ALS fundraising goal! The Run ALS event raises funds to support those affected by ALS and to spread awareness of the urgency to find treatments and a cure.
