| I am raising money for this team for two reasons. The first is to end ALS. I work with people on a daily basis that have ALS and there needs to be more effort to find a cure. The second reason is that Jon was a best friend and I had the pleasure of growing up with him from grade school on. Jon inspired me and I can only continue to spread the word that he started. Please help me raise money in Jon's honor and win the war on ALS.
Thank you, Brian Kochanek |

| Despite 20 million people dying from ALS since 1869, there hasn’t been any significant effort to treat or cure this disease. Jon and ALS patients everywhere are basically offered the same treatment options as Lou Gehrig in 1939. Without raising awareness and funding, ALS will not receive the research efforts necessary to find a cure and will continue to strike down every person who is diagnosed.
