WALK & ROLL FOR ALS TEAM MMM-SHAW
Donation protected
Hihi, Everyone remembers last year & all the 'Ice Bucket Challenges' but those have come to an end.
Unfortunately, ALS hasn't. ALS first touched my life in 2001 when my best friend in the world-my grandmother-was diagnosed. 99% of ALS cases basically just happen. No rhyme or reason. That other 1%? That's the percent my family belongs to. We carry familial ALS, with no way of knowing if I will get it, my mom, my Uncle, Brother, Daughter... So it's scary.
Then, last year, I found out someone I became rather close to my junior year of high school also contracted ALS. This year, I would like to walk & raise money not only in my grandma's honor, but his as well.
There are close to 1,000 pALS (people with ALS) in Michigan battling ALS everyday, and another 200 are diagnosed every year.
ALS of Michigan provides critically needed, community based services to Michigan pALS and their families. From respite care to speech services to equipment loans to support groups, seminars, and workshops, we are there every step of the way to make living with ALS a little bit easier.
But, we need your help!
Please support our walk team so we can continue to provide the services that our ALS community has come to depend on. REMEMBER-there may not be an I in 'team' but there also isn't a 'cure' without U!!
Thank you!
