The campaign has now expired but it's not too late to support this charity.
Visit the charity's profileIn February of 2013 Our loved one John Braun, was diagnosed with ALS (also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease) and we were introduced to a very cruel disease without survivors. We quickly learned that this disease was widely unknown to the vast majority and was without a cure.
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is more than a cause remembered best by dumping a bucket of ice over your head or grainy footage and newspaper clippings of New York Yankees great Lou Gehrig. It is a crippling disease that takes life away from a person before causing death.
It was shortly after John passed away in February 2014 that we as the Braun Family decided that we could make a difference by raising awareness about the disease and raising funds to find a cure for ALS.
ALS Steps for Hope was held for the first time in September of 2014, and has donated close to $19,000 to ALS research at the Marshfield Clinic. We have also brought together numerous families throughout Wisconsin who have battled this terrible disease, or who have lost a loved one to ALS.
Our goal is to find a cure so that one day we can say - there is no more ALS.
