Our mom, Elaine Metzger, was diagnosed with ALS in January. Mom fought with dignity, her journey ended on July 9, 2020. This degenerative disease takes away a bit of her body every day, but not her spirit! SWEETIE'S TEAM is our way to honor this incredible mom, wife and friend
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.
Thank you for helping me reach my Walk to Defeat ALS(R) 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.
That's why my sis, Sue, and I are walking. 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
The key to a cure begins with us.
Please consider walking with us or sponsoring me. With your help, we will be able to make a difference in the lives of people affected by this disease.
