The Goal
Donate to the Brigance Brigade →
Raise $100K+ for PALS
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Lou Gehrig's Disease) is a rare disease with limited, high-cost treatment options. As such, it does not receive the levels of attention or funding as other more common disorders.
Dave is running the World Marathon Challenge to raise proceeds for the Brigance Brigade Foundation so that it may provide increased access to equipment, support services and resources that will drastically improve the quality of life for more people living with ALS (PALS) and their families.
