Every 90 minutes, someone is diagnosed with ALS, or Lou Gehrig’s disease. It’s a rapidly progressive, and ultimately fatal disease, that robs you of the ability to walk, talk, eat, drink, and eventually breathe, while leaving your fully-functioning mind trapped. There is no known cure and the disease is extremely underfunded.

Seeing my fearless and courageous father fight this disease with iron will and grace has always been my inspiration as I take on the Tri-State Trek for the 4th time, even under much different circumstances.

COVID-19's impact on non-profit organizations like ALS Therapy Development Institute (ALS TDI) who depend heavily on donations has been huge. However, the reserachers at ALS TDI are continuing their fight to find a treatment for ALS.  Now they need our support more than ever.  In this critical time, Team Ernie is dedicated to helping those who help others and to help find a cure.

I’m honored to be on Team Ernie. This tribe is very special to me. Nothing can stop us; not even Covid (or a broken foot)!!

No donation is to small- every single cent is greatly appreciated ❤️

THANK YOU!!!!  

Go Team Ernie!!!!
