ALS: Together we can make a difference.

Hello, my name is John Eubanks. In January 2021 I was told by my doctors that I had ALS. The doctors ran every conceivable test to come to their conclusion through the process of elimination. I was tested for everything known to mankind. ALS is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. It is a fatal disease with no known cure. The first symptoms started in June of 2019 when I tried to go from walking to jogging and my right leg would lag not allowing me to jog. I have always been very active and in good physical condition doing daily exercise up to that point. That is when I started the process to find out what was wrong with me, I never expected ALS. I worked in the Construction industry as a Project Manager which required me to conduct inspections and routine site visits. I soon found myself stumbling and even falling when the terrain was uneven. As a result, regrettably, I could no longer continue in my profession due to the progression of this disease.

My goal for these funds is threefold. First, I will use these funds to assist in meeting financial obligations and costs associated with equipment and transportation needs. Secondly, I plan on donating a percentage to my local ALS chapter to help those battling ALS that can not afford medications and equipment (wheelchairs). To provide perspective, the medication that I am currently taking costs $150,000.00 per year. Lastly, I want to give a percentage to ALS research in hopes someday they will find a cure for this dreadful disease.

Your gifts will be used wisely and very much appreciated.

Thank You,

John
