THANK YOU for taking the time to read this personal request… this October 2024 will be our 4th year as a family, and as an amazing network of supporters… the WITT WOLFPACK… walking in honor of our brother Todd.

Todd is bravely fighting this fatal disease, alongside many other PALS.

This has been a heartbreaking journey for Scott and me, as well as all of us who know and love Todd.

The Story

Our brother Todd first sought answers after a springtime trip in 2021, where he unexpectedly could not lift the luggage into the overhead compartment.  Unlike many, Todd was able to get a diagnosis within a few months. This is NOT the norm... but we hope to change that too with earlier and more effective diagnosis. The more time PALS and their doctors and therapists are given affords a greater opportunity to understand this disease even and ideally  change the course. 

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), commonly known as Lou Gehrig's disease, 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 regardless of age, gender, nationality, or ethnicity, although it is primarily an adult-onset disease.
