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.

My dear aunt Viviane was diagnosed with ALS in 2021. She was a vibrant and kind woman, and she is the reason I am running the Colfax Half Marathon! I am passionate about providing help and hope to those living with ALS and supporting the search for 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.

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.

And we can't stop now, the key to a cure starts with us!

Please consider running with me or sponsoring me. With your help, we will be able to make a difference in the lives of people affected by this disease. Thank you!
