Help Dave fight ALS!

Hi there, my name is Dave Janisse and I am asking for your help. I have ALS, Lou Gehrig’s Disease, which costs, on average, $150,000 each year. I was diagnosed in July of ’24 and in that two years I have gone from having a career I loved and playing competitive volleyball four nights a week to being completely unable to move or speak. I could have retired when I was diagnosed, but worked 11 more months until my hands totally stopped working. I am now left with Social Security and $300 of long-term disability from my employer as my only income. I am hoping to raise $100,000 this year which will be used to pay caregivers and basic medical necessities. 

How do we raise that much money?  Brian Jeansonne is a fellow ALS warrior who raises $200,000 every year by asking for just $14 but that you share with 14 people. I was #20 in hockey so I am asking for $20 and that you share with 20 friends. Ideally in a text message or direct email letting them know about my story and davefightsALS.com.

I have added some details about my journey on this site as well as some videos so you can learn more about me and the reality of living with ALS. Reach out and let me know what other content you would like to see. Appreciate you!
