I lost my dad, Rick Brill, in 2021 after he received a late diagnosis of ALS. He was a joyful, compassionate, and athletic person who left a lasting impact on everyone who knew him. Watching ALS take away everything he loved was devastating. This fundraiser is in honor of his memory, and to help find treatments so other families don’t have to go through what mine did.

I chose to support the ALS Therapy Development Institute because of their commitment to transparency and efficiency. A significant percentage of their funding goes directly toward advancing ALS research and finding effective treatments, not to overhead costs or salaries. I believe in the importance of supporting an organization that truly makes a difference, and ALS TDI is dedicated to this critical work.

I have set a goal to raise $5,000 for ALS TDI and spread more awareness about the critical work they do. With your support, we can make a real difference in the fight against ALS. So instead of tangible gifts for my big 40th, I'm asking my amazing friends and family to join me in supporting this cause. Your donation will make a difference—let’s do some good together!
