Please help me support ALS Rhode Island by making a contribution to my fundraiser and sharing this page with your family and friends. Every dollar I raise will advance ALS Rhode Island's great cause! Additionally, you can ask me how you can get involved too.
Together, we can make a difference!

We will be participating in the ALS RI Walk in memory of someone who has made a huge impact. In March 2018, one of our members in California, Tony "Dogbomb" Barrett, was diagnosed with ALS. He was a veterinary technician for 23 years and an avid runner and outdoorsman. He had a positive outlook on life and was very friendly and welcoming to everyone, even complete strangers. After his diagnosis, he chose to take on the disease with the power of positivity and humor, saying that "ALS can kiss my fuzzy butt!" His inspirational story and fundraising efforts rallied the worldwide Furry community behind him, and we have raised thousands of dollars for ALS research. He passed away on April 5, 2019.

We continue to honor him by having local groups around the country attend ALS walks and other fundraising events and our conventions have raised thousands of dollars in his name. His memory will not be forgotten as long as we continue to raise money to find a cure for this disease.
"Wag every day!" --Tony "Dogbomb" Barrett
