Walking for our dad and all other ALS fighters
Walking for our dad and all other ALS fighters
This spring we will be participating in the walk to end ALK. We will be walking for my dad, who has been courageously fighting ALS for nearly two years, and for his brother, who sadly lost his battle against this cruel disease. My dad is the strongest man I know, always prioritizing our family above all else. Even in this toughest fight of his life, his love and dedication to us remains unwavering.
He is not just a remarkable dad but also the most loving grandpa to my son, Jason. Their bond is special, and I feel incredibly fortunate that Jason has such an amazing role model in his life. We need to shed more light on ALS; it’s not just a diagnosis, but a life-altering journey that deserves greater awareness and understanding.
Side by side with my father, my mom is a beacon of strength. She cares for him every day with selflessness and unwavering support, holding our family together through these challenging times. Their love inspires us all.
We believe there should be more support for families like ours who are caring for a loved one with ALS. We need increased funding to ease the financial burden that comes with this expensive disease. The emotional toll is devastating, and it’s crucial to advocate for more resources and awareness.
Together, we walk not just for my dad and his brother, but for every family affected by ALS, to honor their struggles and ensure that one day, there will be a cure.
