Diane's ALS Medical Fund

HELP DIANE MUMMAW FIGHT ALS
Diane Mummaw’s family and friends are uniting to help raise money for her medical expenses associated with her battle against ALS. Diane has a special place in all of our hearts and everyone that knows her loves her amazing spirit.
In November 2015, Diane was diagnosed with ALS “Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis” also known as (Lou Gehrig's Disease). ALS is a terminal neuromuscular disease with no known cure. It affects voluntary muscles, eventually leading to muscle weakening, wasting, twitching, and an inability to move the arms, legs, and other areas of the body, including speech and breathing ability. While Diane still has her strength, symptoms will worsen, specifically affecting her ability to use her hands. Eventually, the disease will spread to her legs, and ultimately, her breathing.
Financially, the ALS Association cites that, on average, annual medical expenses can be projected at approximately $75,000 per year, per patient; much of which must be paid “out of pocket” or is not covered by basic insurance plans. These costs will significantly increase in later stages of ALS. In all likelihood, most of us would never budget for situations (and extreme expenses) like this that may happen.
Monies raised for Diane will go directly to her to help cover medical expenses and the needs of the Mummaw family. We hope by relieving some of the financial burden, this fund will make it easier for the Mummaw family to deal with the challenges they face. Your support, in any form, is incredibly appreciated and helpful.
If you have any questions or would like to send something directly to Diane, please email us via the Contact button below. Or, you may call Melissa Harrison or Kara Benson.
Thank you in advance for your generosity, love, support and prayers!
