Thank you to our 2024 Light the Journey Gala Committee.

Your time, effort, and expertise is greatly appreciated!

 

Adriana Matzke

I am committed to supporting the ALS Association until a cure is discovered so that no other family has to go through what we went through. Until a cure is found, I will continue to raise money to fund research and to support both patients and caregivers. I do this work in honor of my mom and in memory of my dad, who died in 2019 from ALS, after only knowing he had ALS for less than six months.

 

A.M. Roberts

I am a registered nurse and a daughter who lost her dad to ALS. I decided to serve on this committee in honor of my dad and every other person and family impacted by this horrible disease.  

 

Christine Portillo

I am honored to be a part of the gala committee for a second year. I have continued to support the ALS Association for many years, as my Grandpa Joe Portillo Sr died of ALS in 2010. It brings a lot of hope seeing all of the research and treatment breakthroughs over the past few years, and I look forward to witnessing ALS become a livable disease.
