Hello everyone I am a fundraiser coordinator for ALS Canada. I sit on the York Region committee. The walk is June 1st, in Newmarket. I am just doing some personal fundraising and thought I would throw the link up on here. Any small donation helps, and even if you can't or won't donate use this to inform yourself more about this horrible disease.
ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease) is a paralyzing, life-ending condition with a prognosis of 2 to 5 years of life. ALS attacks and kills the motor neurons in the body, denying you the ability to move, to speak and finally to breathe. It has no known cause, no effective treatment and no cure. ALS Canada provides equipment and support services, ensuring each client in Ontario. I hope that you will consider sponsoring me with your best gift possible in a secure online donation using your credit card. Please click on the link below to donate now...

Thank you for your support!

P.S. Here are some additional ALS facts:
* Two to three Canadians die of ALS each day
* Approximately 3,000 Canadians currently live with ALS
* In at least 90% of cases, ALS strikes individuals with no family history of the disease
* Between 5-10% have a familial form of ALS, devastating families for generations
* ALS can strike anyone, regardless of age, sex or ethnic origin
* While the usual age of onset is between 55 and 65, many younger people, often parents, are afflicted
* Nearly 90% of people with ALS died within 5 years of diagnosis. While some live longer, others die within a few short months
* ALS affects the whole family
* ALS is a costly disease - emotionally, physically, and financially.
