Team Gleason Foundation

This year, we're celebrating TEN YEARS of Team Gleason at Crescent City Classic! A decade of running, jogging, walking, rolling, and partying through the Crescent City all to support our loved ones on their ALS journey. Your support as a charity racer enables Team Gleason's mission to empower those living with ALS. While other organizations focus on funding research for a cure or therapeutic interventions – all critical in the fight against ALS – Team Gleason’s focus is different, but complementary. Team Gleason bridges the gap on the care of ALS patients throughout the stages of ALS and focuses on the NOW. Team Gleason is the leading provider of assistive equipment and technology to ALS families across the country. From racing in the Big Easy to training one thousand miles away, you can make an impact on the lives of those living with ALS from ANYWHERE. Sign up to race in-person OR virtually: https://loom.ly/r4kMFj4 #teamgleason #als #nowhiteflags #ccc10k

How wonderful it is for an organization that reaches out and cares about the quality of life for someone and their family that has no ability to control their situation. The Pride Jazzy electric wheelchair has been an answer to a frustrating problem and has allowed some freedom for my husband, Michael, and myself. He has been able to leave the house and join in a meal or even going to the doctor appointments without the fear of falling or getting so fatigued he just cannot continue. Thank you and a big shout out to Team Gleason, Mollie (Technology and Equipment team) and all the supporters that made this happen. It’s something our hearts will not forget. - Shirley and Michael D., Bullhead City, AZ ??
