The Vicki Lynn Shinoda Fund

This Fund was established in 2023 by Vicki Shinoda, who has lived her life with an abundance of passion. She has excelled as a scholar, performer, musician, teacher, professor, therapist, ballroom dancer, spokesperson, and volunteer. Vicki is passionate about traveling, books, her dogs, and above all else; she is passionate about family. She is the proud parent of two children and six grandchildren.

Today, Vicki faces the challenges of life with ALS with grace, faith, and her determination to continue living her life with passion. She is grateful to ALS United Mid-Atlantic for their continuing support and hopes that contributions to ALS Research will soon succeed in conquering ALS.
