Welcome to My Personal Page
Thank you for helping me reach my Walk to Defeat ALS(TM) fundraising goal! This is an exciting opportunity for us to work together to support those affected by Lou Gehrig's Disease and to spread awareness of the urgency to find treatments and a cure.
Please consider walking with me or sponsoring me. With your help, we will be able to make a difference in the lives of people affected by this disease. I encourage you get your friends, family, neighbors and coworkers involved!
I am doing this for Brian Drewel. I met Brian in Rome, N.Y. back when we were in the Air Force. We fished the rivers for salmon and trout and as all fisherman know, you develop a bond. For all that knew Brian, they were blessed. Brian had a way of putting others 1st. Brian was a survival Instructor and if I might say so, the BEST I ever knew. He not only taught how to survive, but lived what he preached. ALS took everything from Brian, except his soul and love for his family. This is such a small thing I, we, can do, but to prevent one more person from the hell which is ALS, (Lou Gehrig's Disease) is well worth the fight. Please, if you are able, please support this effort. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why We Need Your Help
Often referred to as Lou Gehrig's Disease, 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.
Every 90 minutes a person in this country is diagnosed with ALS and every 90 minutes another person will lose their battle against this disease. ALS occurs throughout the world with no racial, ethnic, or socioeconomic boundaries.
This crippling disease can strike anyone. Presently there is no known cause of the disease though support is bringing researchers closer to an answer. In the mean time it costs an average of $200,000 a year to provide the care ALS patients need. Help make a difference and donate or join a walk today.
