September 4-Celebrating 2 months!

Today marks the 2 month anniversary of dad's fall.  He has made tremendous progress, despite the odds against him.  Being at home and surrounded by amazing caregivers and family has made a difference.  In celebration of dad's recovery, my sis has created a team called Freckle Fairies through the ALS Central and Southern Ohio website .  The ALS association is holding its annual walk at the end of the month to help raise money to find a cure for this disease.   

Please join our family and dad by joining Walk to Defeat ALS. Every 90 minutes someone is diagnosed with ALS and every 90 minutes someone gains their freedom from this disease. 

Lou Gehrig's Disease or 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 an ALS patient averages 2 to 5 years from the time of diagnosis.

Please help defeat ALS by donating to this organization and help us reach our goal of $1,000.

If you can walk with us, please send me a message or a comment.  We would love to have a large team of family and friends support dad as he fights this difficult disease.
