It's that time again and I want to thank you in advance for helping me reach my fundraising goal! Together we can make a difference in the lives of those affected by ALS; lives like my dear brother, Doug who was diagnosed with Bulbar ALS in November, 2019. After a valiant fight, he passed away on December 1, 2020 in the midst of the COVID pandemic and the loss is still devastating to our family, especially after losing our dear sister, Donna just a few months prior.
I am still committed to raising money to support other patients and their families walking the ALS journey and to continue to spread awareness of the urgency to find treatments and a cure. I hope you will join me in the fight! And yes, the Goodies for a Cure fundraiser is happening so place your favorite homemade goody order and make a difference in the lives of ALS Patients TODAY!!
