Please Support Me...

I will be participating in my 12th annual fishing tournament this year, and I’m honored to once again take part in the 2026 Kolar Toyota ALS Fishing Tournament.

Like so many others, my life has been touched by ALS. It’s a disease that doesn’t just affect individuals—it impacts families, friendships, and entire communities. I’ve seen firsthand the strength it takes to face it, and the urgency we all share to find better treatments—and one day, a cure.

I’m especially grateful for the progress being made in ALS research. Because of these advancements, I am now receiving monthly spinal infusions of Qalsody, a conditionally approved drug by the FDA, at the University of Minnesota. It gives me hope—not just for myself, but for everyone impacted by this disease—and it’s a powerful reminder of why continued support and funding are so important.

That’s why this tournament matters. It’s more than just a day on the water—it’s a chance to come together, to honor those we’ve lost, to support those still fighting, and to contribute to something bigger than ourselves.

I’m reaching out today to ask for your support. Whether it’s a donation, sharing this post, or simply cheering me on, every bit helps. The funds raised go toward ALS research, patient care, and support services for families navigating this incredibly difficult journey.

If you’re able to give, thank you from the bottom of my heart. If not, your encouragement still means the world to me.

Together, we can make a difference—one cast, one catch, and one contribution at a time.

Company Match Opportunities...

Corporate matching gifts are a type of philanthropy in which companies financially match donations that their employees make to nonprofit organizations. When an employee makes a donation, they'll request the matching gift from their employer, who then makes their own donation. Check to see if your employer will match your donation. We have links on our website that make this process very easy!
