Sunday
May is ALS Awareness Month. Every 90 minutes someone in the US
dies of ALS - more commonly known as Lou Gehrig's Disease. Help
fight this disease by becoming an ALS Association advocate by
visiting www.alsa.org/policy/involved.cfm.
As someone who believes in the power of numbers, I'm asking you
to join me in the battle to defeat ALS.
Create a Community of Hope tribute page or make a donation to
a Community of Hope tribute page. Your support will help fund
research for a treatment and a cure for ALS and support services
for patients and their families provided at the local level.
Let's reach out across our community and make a difference!
