Margaret Lavelle ALS Benefit

Donation protected
In October of 2015, at the age of 48, Margaret was diagnosed with ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) a.k.a. Lou Gehrig's Disease, for which there is no cure.  She lives with her husband, Rick, in Burnsville, Minnesota. She and her family are facing many financial challenges associated with this horrible disease.  They recently purchased a wheelchair accessible van, a custom built power wheelchair and need to make modifications to their home.  Please help us raise the funds needed for in-home care, medical expenses and equipment she will need as her health continues to decline. 

My name is Cindy Martin and I have known Margaret since the 5th grade.  We raised our kids together, have vacationed together and she is my best friend.  She is a loving wife, a mother to three beautiful girls (Kaiti, Meghan and Alyssa) and the most genuine person I know.  So please, prayerfully consider a donation to Margaret and her family. 

We are so grateful for all the support that we receive, not only financially but through your loving support and prayers.  This is a difficult journey that cannot be endured alone.  Our goal is to reach $50,000 by mid-October and 100% of all donations will go directly to Margaret and her family.  Thank you for your generous donations!
