I'm taking a stand against an issue that is deeply personal to me. Our close family friend, Andrew Niblock, was diagnosed with ALS in July 2016 and has been battling this disease for close to four years.  

In honor of Andrew, I will be walking five miles each an every day to raise awareness for ALS. Along the way, my goal is to lose 190 pounds over time. For every $100 donation, I will walk an additional mile on the day that the funds were received. 

Along the way, I will be filming videos and inviting guests to join me on my daily walks as I begin to Pound ALS. Please join me in my journey, and follow me on instagram at @maxwell_w_kelly.
