It was just six years ago that our friend Ed Rapp broke the news that he would retire from Caterpillar to focus on his fight against ALS. Immediately, friends and family rallied together, providing an overwhelming amount of support as Ed systematically laid out a plan to fight this disease.

For the past five years, we've been supporting Ed in the Walk to Defeat ALS. In the past five years, the Peoria Walk raised nearly $665K with to support local ALS patients in the areas of care services, research and advocacy. TEAM RAPP alone raised just nearly $164K .

We're back again this year, and plan to be even stronger!
