The Franklin Pierce University Doctor of Physical Therapy Program in Manchester, New Hampshire is raising money for the Gleason Initiative. After learning about Steve Gleason's fight with ALS during a Neurorehabilitation course, we were challenged by our Professor to come together and support his cause. We were especially inspired by his journey to the top of Machu Picchu. We (The Class of 2017) are going to hike our own Machu Picchu - Mt. Washington in Northern NH - on August 28, 2015 in support of finding a cure for ALS. We will be completing the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge at the 6,289' Summit.  Our goal is to raise $2,000 to send to the Gleason Initiative. Please share this with your loved ones and consider donating if you have the means! Thank you for your support.
