Well it’s that time of year again where we gather together and remember my sister Lynn. She lost her life 11 years ago to this devastating and incurable disease. She has missed so much these past 11 years and oh how I wish she was here to see it all. She now has two grand babies and an upcoming wedding for her son. So many milestones have been reached with her children and so many more to come. I know you are celebrating somewhere Lynn! We all miss you so much it hurts. We think of you all the time and we will always walk in honor of you and in hope that one day we can find a cure for the disease that took you away from all of us. DFT ALS!

 

Every 90 minutes a person in this country is diagnosed with ALS and every 90 minutes another person will lose their battle against this disease. ALS occurs throughout the world with no racial, ethnic, or socioeconomic boundaries. 

That’s why we’re participating in the Walk to Defeat ALS. To bring hope. To raise awareness. To provide resources and services to families free of charge. To help unlock the mystery of ALS and find the key to treatments a cure. Will you join us? 

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive, fatal neuromuscular disease that slowly robs the body of its ability to walk, speak, swallow and breathe. The life expectancy of a person with ALS averages 2 to 5 years from the time of diagnosis. 

ALS can strike anyone. Presently there is no known cause of the disease, yet it still costs loved ones an average of $250,000 a year to provide the care people living with ALS and their families need. Join the movement to provide help and hope today!
