Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.

I’m participating in ALS San Diego’s ALS Walk to raise funds in support of individuals and families in our community affected by ALS.

As a respiratory therapist in the ALS Clinic at UC San Diego, I have the privilege of working closely with patients and families navigating the challenges of this devastating disease. I see firsthand how critical local support, education, and access to care are for improving quality of life.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)—also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease—is a progressive and fatal neuromuscular disorder that gradually robs individuals of the ability to walk, speak, swallow, and breathe. Most people diagnosed with ALS have a life expectancy of 2 to 5 years. It can affect anyone, regardless of age, gender, or background. There is currently no known cause or cure.

Participating in ALS San Diego’s Walk is one of the most impactful ways we can come together to support those living with ALS and raise funds for essential resources, services, and research.

Please consider supporting my efforts by donating through this page. Your contribution directly benefits the San Diego ALS community and helps move us closer to new treatments and—someday—a cure.

Feel free to share this page with friends or family who may wish to contribute.

Thank you for your support!
