Welcome to My Personal Page
As many of you know my husband, Jim, was diagnosed with ALS a couple years ago. Although it has been hard as the disease progresses he always has a positive attitude and appreciates all the good in life and is constantly amazed at how good and caring people can be. He keeps a saying in his wallet...Just because life isn't fair doesn't mean it can't be good. He is brave and determined to live his best life as long as he possibly can. And if attitude counts for anything, he will accomplish this! The ALS Association has already been wonderful with the support group meetings and lots of information. They do a great job of helping with any questions ALS patients have and loaning equipment to patients and doing anything possible to support them. I think without them a lot of people would have a hard time living with this disease. So please think about a donation to help all the people in the area living with ALS.
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, and presently there is no known cause or cure.
That's why I'm walking. To change the statistics. To bring help and hope to those living with the disease. To ensure that no one ever hears the words: "You have ALS" again.
The past two years have brought incredible advancements in ALS research, expanded access to care for people living with ALS, and enabled legislation that impacts the quality of life of people with ALS and their families.
But we can't stop now. The key to a cure begins with you.
Please consider walking with me or sponsoring me. With your help, we will be able to make a difference in the lives of people affected by this disease.
