On Saturday, May 23 at 11 in the pavilion at the Lucille Ball Memorial Park for the "Team Joe's Walk for ALS Families." For the past two years, Team Joe has proudly walked in Buffalo—but this year, we’re bringing it home to Jamestown and Celoron, surrounded by the people and places that mean the most to us. After 28 months of living with ALS, we’ve seen firsthand how life can change overnight, and how critical support becomes when families are suddenly navigating unimaginable challenges.

Through every difficult step, five incredible foundations stood beside us: ALS Ride for Life, Shady Strong ALS Awareness, Billy Mead ALS Fund, HARK ALS, and the Live Like Lou Foundation. They helped provide grants, home accessibility modifications, and even a generator to meet the daily needs that come with fighting ALS. Those resources brought relief when it was needed most.

Now, we want to pay that generosity forward. 100% of every dollar raised will be donated back to these organizations so they can continue helping other families facing ALS—especially young families and families with children, who often carry the emotional and financial weight of this disease all at once.

ALS doesn’t just impact one person—it impacts spouses, children, parents, and entire households. Your donation can help another family stay in their home, afford critical equipment, or simply breathe easier during an overwhelming time. Please join us, donate if you’re able, and help us turn hardship into hope for the next family who needs it.
