WHY WE WALK:
Team Captain Natalie's late husband Steve starting having these weird twitches in his right arm and his arm was also getting weak in September 2017. By the end of the year, he completely lost use of that arm and hand and then it started in his left arm. After months of testing, he was diagnosed in May of 2018 with ALS. We were ALL devastated. He tried the Radicava treatment beginning in June of 2018, but in late September 2018 he opted to stop treatment and entered hospice care. He lost his fight on November 13, 2018.
THIS IS WHY WE WALK!
We LOVE YOU and MISS YOU, Steve!
