Many people have reached out asking how they can help and support our family during this time, and we are so grateful for that💙

We put together a new & improved Team Derek Support Sign-up sheet with a few different ways to get involved—whether it’s helping at home, running errands, or supporting in other practical ways. If you previously filled out our original form, we kindly ask that you please complete this updated version as well!

We also created an Amazon wishlist with some of the everyday supplies and items that help keep things running smoothly at home. Any contribution, big or small, truly means so much to us💙

I had the privilege last week of doing something, federal advocacy.
The goal is to renew and fully fund the Act for ALS. I have included the link to the bill information. The Congressional hearing is tomorrow. Keep your fingers crossed.

Hello everyone!
I am honored to share that I have been chosen as the Ambassador for the 2026 Walk to Defeat ALS in Rochester, NY!

This cause is deeply personal to me, and being given the opportunity to represent this community means more than I can put into words. I’m beyond grateful—and ready to make this year even more impactful💪🏼

Last year, our team showed up in a BIG way. We had the largest team (around 70 people) and raised an incredible $37,587!!! That support, love, and dedication is something I’ll never forget🤍

This year, we’re doing it again—only bigger 💙

Whether you’ve walked with us before or are new to our journey, I would love for you to join our team, donate, or help spread the word. Every step we take and every dollar raised brings us closer to better treatments and, ultimately, a cure🤍

Let’s keep building this army together💪🏼

Thank you for standing with me and with everyone affected by ALS💙🤍

For people battling ALS, time is not a luxury to waste. With an average life expectancy of 2-5 years following diagnosis, there is clear urgency to optimize care and find effective treatments for those affected by the disease. That's why we need to do everything we can to help The ALS Association Up...
