Thank you for helping us reach our fund raising goal! We lost our dad, Ed Zuelke, to ALS in August 2011, and boy did he put up a strong and valiant fight. He was an amazing husband, father, grandfather and friend. Now his daughter Stephanie has been diagnosed with ALS. We need to do all we can to find a cure to stop this disease. My sister is another strong personality - no doubt she will and has already shown us just how strong of a fighter she is. See, along with ALS, she has also been diagnosed with Breast Cancer. She is already winning that battle, and continuing to fight on the ALS front. We are an army of support to bring her through this. LET'S DO THIS!! We will Never Give Up this fight until WE have won!!
Together we can make a difference in the lives of those affected by Lou Gehrig’s Disease. Our team is committed to raising money to support people in our community with ALS and spread awareness of the urgency to find treatment and a cure. Please consider joining our team in the Walk to Defeat ALS® or choose a team member from the list and donate to our cause.

ABOUT ALS
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. Presently there is no known cause of the disease, yet it still costs loved ones an average of $250,000 a year to provide the care people living with ALS and their families need. Join the movement to provide help and hope today!
