They Need Us
People living with ALS deal with everyday struggles that most of us cannot imagine. With your help we can help alleviate many problems that occur daily.
Together We Can Make Difference!
In March of 2018, Kelly first started to show symptoms, most notably slurred speech. For more than a year, Kelly was subjected to multiple rounds of testing, scans, and blood work with no conclusive results. A lack of diagnosis caused her stress, pain, and social anxiety, as her impaired speech caused her to be more reclusive.
Kelly was referred to Jefferson Neurological Center in May 2019 where she received a preliminary diagnosis of PLS and presenting signs of muscle spasticity. In July 2019 we were told this would likely develop into ALS. In January 2020 she received the ALS diagnosis. Her motto is You Only Live Once and with that in mind her family created the YOLO Foundation to enrich the lives of those afflicted with ALS. Anyone who knows Kelly, knows she lives to celebrate life and that’s what we’re going to do!

The Yolo Foundation not only strives to help others, but inspires others to help. Donating to this cause is one of the best charity choices I've made.
