Hi Everyone,

Thank you for taking the time to visit “Get Leah Moving – Help Leah in her Fight Against ALS.”

My name is Sarah Margach, and one of my lifelong best friends needs the support of her community in her fight against ALS.

Leah suffers from Bulbar ALS, (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) a rare and aggressive form of ALS that affects the nerves controlling the muscles used for speaking, swallowing, and breathing. This disease slowly weakens the body, making supportive care, specialized equipment, and adaptive technologies essential for maintaining comfort, connection and quality of life for those effected and their families.

After multiple years of struggling with issues with her tongue, Leah was officially given the terminal diagnosis of ALS February 2022. Leah was only 31 years old, and pregnant with her second child. Since then, Leah and her family have endured hardship that no one should have to bear. Watching her fight this disease has been heartbreaking, but watching her persevere and be an incredible mother to her 2 little girls has been inspiring. I am in awe of her resilience. Life is not fair, and I’ve never met anyone more deserving of love, support, and community than Leah. She has touched so many lives with her kindness and strength, now it’s our turn to rally around her.

I’ve started this fundraiser because the costs of care and accessibility equipment are overwhelming. Recently, Leah has needed a medical bed, adaptive couch, specialized wheelchair, and home ramp. Now, she urgently needs a wheelchair-accessible van, her new chair is extremely heavy, and without the proper vehicle, travel will be very challenging.

If you have read this far, thank you for your time. If you are able, please donate or share this page to help Leah, Josh and their 2 beautiful little girls.

Leah — we love you, we’re with you, and we’re praying for you every day. Let’s get Leah moving!!!!
